What Did You Know?

In listening to Christmas music...I have always liked the song "Mary Did You Know" because it's such a powerful song with amazing lyrics. Imagine being this young girl pregnant with the son of God, your family doesn't believe you, your friends have abandoned you and your husband has only now seen a vision from God and is accepting you and your child. Imagine trying to have great faith for a miraculous event. The words state so many things the Bible says Jesus did:
Mary, did you know? The blind will seeThe deaf will hearAnd the dead will live againThe lame will leapThe dumb will speak… ...Mary, did you knowThat your baby boy is lord of all creation? Did you knowThat your baby boy will one day rules the nations? Did you knowThat your baby boy is heavens perfect lamb? This sleeping child youre holdingIs the great I am
Don't you think that would make all the pain and suffering she went through seem to disolve like snow in a fire? As though her small sacrifice would free the world around her? Her sacrifice could heal her wounds, pain and take away her burdens. Do you think God's saying that today...about your little one? Did know...they'll be a great architech? They'll invite a cure for cancer? Or maybe they'll serve the lost accross the seas?
Or maybe, just maybe it is what God is saying to each of us? Lindsay did you know? ... did you know that you'll do this? Did you know that you'll be that? What if we are too stubborn to listen? Or have run too far to hear? Just what if today we could hear the great things about our lives?
If only we'd listen...
