"Favored, Loved & Chosen"

Recognizing that we are favored, loved and chosen by God🌷

As we come to the final week of our Lent journey, we are invited into the quiet, beautiful surrender of Mary—a woman whose faith was not loud or showy, but deeply rooted in trust.

Mary’s story reminds us that obedience doesn’t always come with full understanding. When the angel appeared, her life was forever changed. Yet instead of fear taking over, she responded with a willing heart: “I am the Lord’s servant.” She chose trust over hesitation, surrender over control.

Throughout this week, we saw a faith that treasures, ponders, and holds tightly to the work of God. Mary didn’t rush past what God was doing—she carried it in her heart. She reminds us that sometimes the most powerful faith is found in stillness, in remembering, and in quietly trusting God’s plan even when it feels uncertain.

As we close out Lent and are moving into Holy Week, we are left with this gentle invitation:

• Will we trust God with the unknown?

• Will we surrender fully, even when it costs us something?

Mary’s life points us to a faith that says yes—not because it’s easy, but because God is faithful.

Let’s carry that same heart posture into the days ahead…

A heart surrendered. A spirit willing. A faith that trusts Him completely. 🤍

Let’s step into Holy Week expectant for what God will show us. 🌷
