Luke 1:48
From now on all generations will call me blessed.

When Mary said, “From now on all generations will call me blessed,” was she being proud? Mary does not say all generations are going to consider her a mediatrix, and as such a legitimate object of veneration. She was not thinking of the concept of the Virgin Mary as holiest of creatures. What she means is all generations are going to praise God because of the marvelous manner in which He has blessed her.

No, she was recognizing and accepting the gift God had given her.

If Mary had denied her privileged position, she would have been throwing God’s blessing back at Him.

Pride is refusing to accept God’s gifts or taking credit for what God has done; humility is accepting the gifts and using them to praise and serve God.

Don’t deny, belittle, or ignore your gifts.

Thank God for them and use them to His glory.
