Matthew 1:20 Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
That which is conceived in you is not conceived by you! This was the message concerning Mary. Yes, she was pregnant, and yes she was a virgin. A miracle from God that no one but God could take the credit for. That is the truth of Christmas, and it's also the truth for all Christians! Without Him, I can do nothing.......but with Him I can do all things! With men, there are lots of impossibilities, but with God nothing shall be impossible! Did you know that God created you with greatness in mind? You are God's masterpiece, and He has planted seeds of excellence within you. Unfortunately, some live their whole life without truly understanding this incredible potential. Others live their life believing that their gifts and talents are their own doing. I desire to be among the few who realize that I was fearfully and wonderfully made, and that there is potential for great fruit in my life, but most importantly, whatever good comes from my existence......that good was conceived by His Holy Spirit. Amen

i have to admit that I struggle with this truth more than I would like to. I have a hard time remembering the good and I can't seem to forget the bad! For years my mind set was negative and changing it has been difficult at times. My enemies doesn't make it any easier for sure. This is why the word of God is so important for me. The more I read the better my thought life gets. I don't like to listen to any other music than christian mainly because I remember bad times when I hear old secular songs that I was listening to back then. I am totally at God's mercy to show me my potential.
