                           (And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according
                           to thy word.)
           
            1.            She was available for God to declare Himself to.

            2.            She was accepting of all God declared to her heart.
                           v.30-37

            3.            She willingly offered her heart and life to God for Him to use.

            4.            She imposed no boundaries before God.

            5.            She had full trust in God’s wisdom and choice and power.

            6.            She sought God with no fear nor doubt.

            7.            She gave evidence to God of her willingness.

Could we simply declare to/before God our willingness and desire to be used for His purpose and glory.
Lord, please so use me! Could we say to the Lord. Lord use me …

Mary concluded what God said was right. She was God’s vessel to use.
She trusted fully in God’s will.
