As Elizabeth had carried the shame of not being able to bear children for her whole life, but now she carries a miracle, Mary is visiting her with what the world would perceive as shame because she was having a child even though she had become pregnant without being married first. But in both of them, Joy literally leaps. God flips the story and says, I'm taking this thing that you may feel shame about, and I'm making it into joy. There are people out there that are going through similar situations where the world is telling them you are in a desert because you've messed up. And God says, let me break through and turn that into something new.
