So I just want you to get this in your heart today.

Because I think when we realize what we carry...

We'll protect what we carry.

We'll acknowledge what we carry.

We'll allow what we carry to teach us wisdom in our innermost parts.

We'll understand that we don't have to react to the boss when he's putting us down, when he's trying to make us feel less than.

We can understand that the critics don't have to define us because God is teaching us all the while in our inmost parts.

I want to just use one of the greatest mothers.

Since it's Mother's Day, right?

I want to talk about one of the greatest mothers in the Bible.

In fact, this mother was the first mother that God lived in.

The first mother that God lived in.

Her name is Mary.

You know Mary.

You know the story of Mary.

She was the mother of Jesus.

She was a young girl.

She was about to get married to the man of her dreams.

Now, somebody might not think she was anything special.

If they looked on her from the outside, they could say, she's just a girl.
