Love is a wonderful thing that transcends throughout
all ethnic differences. It is so super exceeds, until it amazes all that
would be previewed to it, watching from the sidelines as the story
unfolds. How could two(2) persons from a diverse background be
drawn together by a force that humanity is still trying to define.
Love is the game changer, it causes life, location, relationships and
even jobs to be reconsidered, when the spark of love is glowing.
God has designed it to be that way, a man /woman would leave
all and cleave to where his/her heart has drawn him/her.
Joseph, in the gospel of Matthew 1:18-25 is in love with and
engaged to a young lady by the name of Mary.She tells him that
she is pregnant and it is none of his doing. She says that this is
the Lord's doing. He thinks to himself “Where could this girl get
such a story?”
Nonetheless the ways out his options and concludes that he
would divorce her secretly. The love and respect that he has
for her and her family, would not allow him to subject them
to public embarrassment.
Joseph goes away depressed and hurt. Retiring early to his room,
and while laying off on his bed, he drifts into a deep sleep.
Joseph, while a sleep, has a visitation from the Lord. An angel appears
to him and reveals what Mary was trying to explain to him.
After awakening from sleep Joseph reconsiders, and without
reservations takes Mary as is and makes her his bride.
Joseph yielded himself to the Will of God. Forsaking what
the law required, and no longer mindful of consequences, he was fully
persuaded to do the Will of God.
Sometimes God wants us to blind ourselves to our surrounding and do
His good pleasure.
How persuaded are you today to do the Will of God?
