We all carry the promise.

And Mary said:
   “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.”
Luke 1: 46-55

The other day, I felt like the Lord was telling me to read Luke. I wasn't sure why , but as I was reading, I began to fall in love with Mary. She is such a beautiful woman. She was an ordinary girl who found favor with the Lord (v 30), and she was chosen to carry the promise.

We all have a destiny. God has a plan for each one of us, just like He had for Mary. He has placed promises within us, promises that will start a revolution. The world will be changed by us. They will know freedom the moment they come in contact with us. We are carrying truth. We are carrying the light. We carry the hope of the world. We are chosen. We are all like Mary. It's time to birth the promise that we are carrying.

Let the world be shaken by our words.

The Lord is good. Life is wonderful.
