Luke 1:38 FNV

The lot proposed to her would bring probably in its wake unknown sufferings as well as untold blessedness. (PC)

And we must, as Mary here, guide our desires by the word of God. In all conflicts, let us remember that with God nothing is impossible; and as we read and hear his promises, let us turn them into prayers, Behold the willing servant of the Lord; let it be unto me according to thy word. (MH)
