"I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." - Jeremiah 29:11, TLB Could the living God really have a glorious purpose for you-just like He did with Mary? Mary had nothing. No expensive chariot, no six-figure income, no higher education. But she was called blessed and favored because of what God was planning to do through her. The Lord was with her, and that made all the difference. Will you respond like Mary and say, "I am the Lord's servant, and I'm willing to do whatever He wants"? The blessed and highly favored life is not really about who you are, but whose you are. It is not about externals but what God is doing in your life internally. The turning point in Mary's life was when she began to see herself as God saw her. It should be your turning point too. Are you ready? Then welcome to A Blessed And Highly Favored Life.
