- There is a close relationship between the degree of our faith and our concept of God.
- Mary was blessed with the power to be of service to God.
- When believers sense personally that the God of creation is working in and through them to do His will, there is joy!
- When we are in the service of the King there is an immortality that accompanies our work.
- Mary was the recipient of the paradox of blessedness.
- To be chosen of God, to be elected as His instrument, there is no higher calling. There is no greater blessing!
