"I am happy to do what God wants."

Our lesson this morning for the second-graders in our Sunday School class was the visit of the angel Gabriel to tell Mary that God had chosen her to bear the Son of God. Mary could have resisted. She could have been unwilling. But she submitted to God's plan for her. "Mary said, 'Here I am. I want to obey God. He has a plan for me. I am happy to do what he wants. I know you are telling the truth.' And then the angel went away" (Luke 1:38, The B-I-B-L-E). Wouldn't it be great if we too would obey God's plan for us!
