Luke 1:38

Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.”

This is Mary’s response to the angel’s news that she would conceive by the Holy Spirit and give birth to the Son of God.

Talk about a major twist in life plans!

Mary then gave us the perfect example of saying “yes” to God.

Wouldn’t it be great if God would simply tell each of us what we needed to do to play a perfect part in the unfolding kingdom of God on earth?

Perhaps God is doing exactly that…but we aren’t listening.

For us to hear…we have to actually be present.

We have to open ourselves to the Divine Presence.

And for that to happen…we have to let go of ourselves.

Each of us has to die to self…as in our “ego” self. That is the only way our true self can rise.

A good practice is to set aside quiet time to let godetach from our non-stop minds which never stop chattering.

We need to create a space to listen for God’s silent voice.

Sit in silence for ten to twenty minutes and simply practice letting go.

What may sound like a waste of time will actually change your life for the better.

guarantee it.
