Luke 1:39-43
New Living Translation (NLT)
39 A few days later Mary hurried to the hill country of Judea, to the town 40 where Zechariah lived. She entered the house and greeted Elizabeth. 41 At the sound of Mary’s greeting, Elizabeth’s child leaped within her, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, “God has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed. 43 Why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should visit me?
Even though she herself was pregnant with a long-awaited son, Elizabeth could of envied Mary, whose son would be greater than her own. Instead she was filled with joy that the mother of her Lord would visit her. Have you ever envied people whom God has apparently singled out for a special blessing? A cure for jealousy is to rejoice with those people, realizing that God uses His people in ways best suited for His purpose.
