Mary being chosen to give birth to Jesus was miraculous, but it was also inconvenient. Telling Joseph, explaining to others, making it to Bethlehem — it was all inconvenient. However, it all took place for Mary because she was favored. In our lives, we tend to get hung up on how inconvenient God’s plans seem, and we overlook just how favored we are to be a part of the bigger picture He has planned.
