Problem is my last name

And did you know that your cousin Elizabeth conceived a son, old as she is? Everyone called her barren, and here she is six months’ pregnant! Nothing, you see, is impossible with God. Luke 1.36,37

Everyone called her barren.

What does everyone call you? Are you known by a limitation, a problem, a handicap, a tragedy that happened to you?

“Oh, that’s Mary, the one with cancer.”

“No, not that John. It’s John the one whose wife left him.”

“Anne, the one who’s always moving from place to place.”

Are you tired of having a problem for a last name?

Do you want to change your story, like Elizabeth did?

We shall continue this conversation tomorrow. Be here.

Meanwhile, like Mary, when she heard the above from Gabriel, ponder these thoughts in your heart.
