God delights in using ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. Mary was a young woman from a tiny village with common fears and questions, yet she became the mother of the Messiah. What set her apart was not her own merit but God's favour, His presence with her, and her humble submission to His will. Through faith in Jesus, we too receive God's favour, His Spirit dwells in us, and we are called to walk humbly with Him in obedience.
