Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.” – Luke 1:35(NLT)
THE SON OF GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Our heavenly father is the source of love and light
In him, there is no darkness and we can enjoy life
When he chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus
Purity and obedience made her very precious
She was a simple woman who had much humility
Despite her apprehension she followed God’s call faithfully
The angel explained that the Holy Spirit will come upon her
The power of the Most High will overshadow; no need to cower
She was chosen as the vessel to make the prophecies come true
God gave her great favor so others can change and be renewed
The Son of God was given to us as proof of the Father’s faithfulness
He is reassuring us all that we shall be filled with much joyfulness
No one expected that Jesus Christ will be born in a manger
He was wrapped in swaddled cloths and was amidst danger
Yet, God delivered his promise of salvation through Christ
He wants us all to know that we are all precious in his sight
Have you ever been loved unconditionally like this?
Who can ever give everything just for you to be free?
PRAYER
Lord, thank you.
REFLECTION
What has Jesus done for you?
