The Power of a Personal Connection: Mary's Response of Faith God speaks because He desires a personal relationship with you—meeting you where you are. In a world full of surface-level relationships, God invites us into something deeper. Through Mary's honest questions, humble listening, and heartfelt response (Luke 1:34-38, 46-55), we see that true connection with God begins with faith and intimacy, not just religious routine. What barriers are keeping you distant? Key Scripture: Luke 1:34-38; 46-55 | John 15:15 “When God speaks, it’s an invitation into relationship.”
Three Reflection Questions:
What's keeping you from closer connection with God?
What honest question do you need to bring to Him?
How might your relationship with God change if you truly believed He wants to be close to you?
God still speaks—practically, personally, and purposefully—because He wants to be close to you.
