What Made Birth Difficult for Mary?
A letter to my nephew who is unaware of childbirth
Dear Nephew,
Thank you for your question about the challenges and hardships that Mary faced. This is a fascinating topic, and I will do my best to explain it to you in a way that you can understand.
As you know, Mary was a young woman who was chosen by God to bear His son, Jesus. This was a great honor, but it also came with many challenges and hardships.
One of the biggest challenges that Mary faced was the fact that she was an unmarried woman who was pregnant. In her culture and time, this was a very shameful and difficult situation. She faced the possibility of being rejected and ostracized by her community, and she had to endure the judgment and criticism of others.
Another challenge that Mary faced was the fact that she had to travel to Bethlehem to give birth to Jesus. This was a difficult journey for a pregnant woman, and she had to face many hardships along the way. She also had to give birth to Jesus in a stable, surrounded by animals, because there was no room for her in the inn.
Despite all of these challenges and hardships, Mary remained faithful to God and His plan for her life. She trusted in Him and relied on His strength to get her through these difficult times.
I hope that this has helped to answer your question, Nephew. The challenges and hardships that Mary faced were many and varied, but she was able to overcome them with faith and trust in God.
With love,
David.
