YES. Such a simple word.  Just three letters. YES.   A simple word can change everything. I have always    been in awe of Mary's "yes."  By her humble obedience     to trust in what God was asking.  What faithfulness! And this was not just some simple request.  Not a small favor. But her whole life.   He was asking for her complete trust. For her all. And she said YES to the call God had for her life. What about YOU? -Anonymous For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed   among you... BUT in Him it is always YES...    for all the promises of God find their YES in Him.     That is why it is through Him that we utter         our Amen to God for His glory! -2 Corinthians 1:19-20
