Our Scripture reading today is Luke 1:27-30.
Verse 30, "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God."
The angel that came to deliver this miraculous message said that Mary was highly favoured and then again that she was favoured. Merriam Webster defines favour as "friendly regard shown toward another especially by a superior". Mary was not sinless nor should she be worshipped. Mary was a woman of God that was chosen to carry her Messiah in her womb for nine months. I often pray for God to give others His favour. Mary isn't the only one who can receive favour from God. What a blessing it is to be called His child and have His favour on our lives.
