And behold, the word of the LORD came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very own son shall be your heir.” And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness. (Genesis 15:4-6 ESV)
Throughout God's story of love for us, He is always seeking two things: for us to believe, and to receive His blessings so we in turn can be a channel of blessing for Him. Abraham was blessed because he believed; Mary was blessed when she beleived and received God's message through the angel. We too are blessed if we will believe the LORD, and receive His Gift to us.
