Redeeming for a blessing

Some people love their cars. They're always washing and waxing them, and woe to the person who scratches their precious car! You might think it's funny, when you ask Me into your life, that's when I buy you. You used to belong to yourself or to whoever you were living for. But now you're mine. God always uses such intimate language when He relates to us He painted warm images of sheltering us under His wings, holding us in the  palm of His hand, or drawing us close to His breast. He's so personal with us, why shouldn't we be with Him? "Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told here from the Lord." Luke 1:45
In the Kingdom of God, believing is a prerequisite to receiving. I will use this account to emphasize certain things to pertaining to a blessing. God spoke to Mary and gave the assurance He always gived when He assign the impossible to His people. Everything was in place for God to act. Everything waited on Mary to believe Him. Once she believe it was done! In (Matthew 5:8). Happy are the pure heart; they will see God! in verse 9; Happy are those who work for peace; God call them His children. Wow! Is that beautiful! In (Hebrew. 12:14). Try to be at peace with everyone, and try to live a holy life, because no one will see the Lord without it. This has always been God's way with His people. Mary could not see all that had been arranged and assembled in the courts of heaven. She could not see the legions of angels prepared to protect her and her baby. She was unaware of the future and all that she and her child would face. All she knew was that God had spoken to her and that was enough. So she responded "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word" (Luke1:38). When God speak about His plans, He does so with everything already in place to fulfill His Word. God never speak hypothetically. He knows exactly what will come to pass. He simply asks you to believe Him. You will experience great blessing when you place your absolute trust in Him. Mary could not have dreamed all that would result from her faithful obedience. Likewise, you cannot possibly imagine all that God has in store for you when you trust Him. He knows exactly what He will do to bring salvation in your house to someone you have prayed for or to heal your friend or to provide for your needs. God had everything in place. Will you believe Him. Fear not, for I have redeemed you; i have summoned you by name; you are mine. (Isaiah 43:1).
