I love this song. I have always loved this song. It is sung from Mary’s point of view the morning after she becomes pregnant with Jesus. It comes at such a perfect time - first week of Advent. Lately, I’ve been getting the message (multiple times and ways) about focusing on the true meaning of Christmas. Worrying more about getting my heart ready for Jesus instead of getting those multiple “perfect” presents that their recipients didn’t know they needed. Usually, my Advent time is spent in the reverse - spending all my time planning and buying those perfect gifts and spending extra time preparing my heart.
God’s been pretty insistent this year is going to be different. This year, it’s time to spend all my time preparing my heart and extra time towards those gifts. So tonight my prayer is going to be from one of the many Advent books I received this year.
