Dear God. . .Why did God choose Maria to be Jesus' mother?
I don't know all the answers, Erika. No one was more surprised and amazed than Mary herself. But the Bible says Mary was God's choice, which makes her a very special young lady. And God will use you in a very special way, too, my little friend! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. God loves children and He has specific plans for each and every one of them. And He wants us to make a way for them to climb into His lap. Jesus' disciples never got a more enraged tongue-lashing than when they tried to keep children away from the Master. Introduce a child to Jesus…then watch how God uses that child in amazing ways. This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with Compassion. Leading a child to Christ can pave the way for others to see His glory.
