Because the Lord was with Mary, He can be with anyone of us. Christ’s coming has removed all the barriers that keep a Holy God from blessing sinful people. Could there be any greater blessing than to hear the words, “The Lord is with you.”
When the Lord is with us, every good thing surrounds us, for God works all things for the good of those who love Him. When the Lord is with us we smell the aroma of His presence and find His joy in the simplest of things. His company transforms the mundane into magic and the ordinary into opulent opportunity. When the Lord is with us, fruit abounds in us and around us. Love, joy, peace patience; all the fruit of the Spirit is ours. When the Lord is with us, even little is much and the winds of adversity can only carry us to greater delights. When the Lord is with us, what could possibly be against us?
