The portion that has really struck me is where it says, "Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things…" Partook of the same things… Even though Jesus was without sin, He understands our struggles and has "shared in them". This has been such an encouragement to me to come boldly to the throne of Grace even when I've blown it for the gazillionth time. He is our ever merciful high priest.

Thanks for sharing.

When it comes to Mary and Martha I think we definitely need to find a balance between the two, but starting with Mary (spending time with Jesus) enables us to achieve the Martha role too! Have a blessed weekend, friend!

I feel like doing the right thing only brings heartache.

Just something I am going through right now.

I just wrote about Martha yesterday in my new book. I can relate to her desires for party perfection. And I can also relate to Mary's contemplative spirit. I have to balance both my Martha and Mary sides daily!

I think I know what it feels like to be a Mary, and the feeling is great, but all too often my Martha-mind and my love affair with effort pull me away from sitting at Jesus's feet. I find I'm always searching for that balance between being and doing, but I'm learning that the more I lean into Him and trust Him to guide me there, the more it all evens out. I guess it all comes down to abiding in Him and letting Him lead the way.

Like you said, God can teach us new things from the stories we've heard 1000 times. As I re-read it this morning, I was struck by this line: "And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house." If Martha hadn't invited Jesus into her home, Mary never would have had the opportunity to sit as His feet. If I'm honest, when I was younger, I leaned towards Martha and it left me, in your words, "missing Him." In recent years, I have learned to emulate Mary, but I have also avoided doing things that feel too hard, too scary: volunteering at church, making new friends, nurturing old friendships, or even cooking at home rather than ordering take-out. As both Michele and Edith have already said, I strive for both: Mary's attitude and Martha's actions. I imagine, however, it will take me a lifetime to strike this balance. Thank you for encouraging my efforts today!

Growing up, I was more like Mary and my sister like Martha. But I envied her busyness and wished I could be more energetic, more the doing type. I guess we all need to discern when we should be a Mary and when we need to be a Martha because both are important. And we can carry Mary in our hearts while doing the Martha thing as Brother Lawrence, the French monk, who mastered practising the presence of God even while he performed his chores in the monastery kitchen.

I've been both, Mary and Martha. To be honest, I like being like Mary better. Martha reminds me of a driven woman with a check off list. Scary. Haha.

God bless you, and thank you again for sharing this.
