Luke 1:42-43

New Living Translation (NLT)

 

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 was pregnant with a long awaited son, Elizabeth could have envied Mary, whose son would be even 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 singled out for special blessing? A cure for jealousy is to rejoice with those people, realizing that God uses His people in ways best suited to His purpose.
