When someone says ‘trust me,’ we always think twice.   Circumstances come and we feel reluctant and uneasy…especially  when some one says ‘trust me.’    I love you!

When trust is essential we doubt.    Why is that?

When the Blessed Virgin Mary was incarnated with Jesus,  she said, Behold I am the handmade of the Lord, let it be done to me according to thy word!

When the Blessed Mother said this, she was approximately fourteen years old.     Think what courage and obedience this took.    To forge into the unknown and proceed with no likelihood of any ‘plans’ of her own.

She did not have a ‘husband’. Think of the persecution she was accepting.   Unknown to her, yet still ‘trusting.’

Of course God tested her by this.   God chose to ‘assign’ Joseph to Mary after He had ‘blessed’ Her with our Lord!    Joseph being an upright man refused.   Then Joseph had a dream.   It was then He accepted what God desired.

As they went forth they ‘trusted’ against all odds.   No matter what they came up against.    Many times I am sure.

Another time of great ‘testing’ was when there was ‘no room in the Inn’.    Mary young and unaware what was coming, bringing a child into the world and no Mother to comfort her, she trusted  ‘God’ and her spouse; Joseph.

Though she was without sin, Mary was still ‘human’.    Three times they were told there was ‘no room’.   Joseph must have prayed fervently asking, ‘why’?  Perhaps saying, “Father ‘Why?’ This is Your Son.’    Mary in great pain, I am sure, was praying fervently as well.    Finally they were told, I have a clean stable.   You are welcome to use that.    They had no choice.   The time was ‘Now’.   If you have ever been near someone who is about to deliver a baby, you know it is ‘immediate’.

Consider how young she was.

Then again, Our Blessed Mother was at a wedding.    Jesus was gone.    She could not find him.    He was missing for three days and nights.   Again I am sure Mary was praying.   Remembering this ‘child’ was the ‘Son of God’.   Thinking and wondering.   Mary found Jesus teaching the elders in the temple.           Jesus was as God desired.     Never doubting!

Being human, I am sure Mary  wondered.    Yet  never denying God His will.   Remember that though  Jesus was divine, He was of ‘flesh’.   A man.     Suffering and feeling as we do.     Yet He too ‘trusted’.   Saying to the Father, ‘Not my will, but Thy will be done.’

Trust.   It is a constant.   We live from day to day trusting ourselves, believing we know.    Unless we have come to Jesus;  Called upon Him, ‘to come into our hearts and beg for forgiveness.    For it is in calling upon Jesus and asking for forgiveness that we extend the ultimate gift….trusting to the death…accepting another,    Jesus Christ.   His will be done.   For you see, God, so pleased with His Son turned the keys to the kingdom over to Him.

Consider: “Thy will be done Lord”   Trust!   For He has a plan…for us, just as He did Mary and Jesus.

The reward: Eternal Life.    What a reward it is….God ever faithful, “Jesus Christ”  King of Kings!    Mary Our Blessed Mother….Queen of Heaven and Earth!
