No Fear of God's Favor

In Luke 1:29-30, the apostle recalls that Mary was greatly troubled at the angel Gabriel's words, and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God." Mary did not understand why she was called, but accepted the calling and greeting from the angel as God's messenger. When God calls us for our purpose, the purpose He has called us for may seem overwhelming. As God calls us, just as He called Mary, He gives us great favor to fulfill that calling of our purpose.
