When we allow God to be born in us (Barbara Brown Taylor)


  On the one hand [Mary] was just a girl, an immature and frightened girl who had the good sense to believe what an angel told her in what seemed like a dream. On the other hand, she was the mother of the Son of God, with faith enough to move mountains, to sing about the victories of her son as if he were already at the right hand of his father instead of a dollop of cells in her womb… When we allow God to be born in us, there is no telling, no telling at all, what will come out.
