## Resource

Hey lovely 🤍 Welcome to Day 1 of the Holy Week Devotional Series—a sacred, slow walk through the week that changed everything. In today’s episode, we step into Palm Sunday, where Jesus enters Jerusalem not on a war horse, but on a humble donkey… fulfilling prophecy and revealing the kind of King He truly is. Together, we walk through Matthew 21:1–11 and uncover a powerful tension:The crowd cried “Hosanna—save us now”… but they misunderstood how He came to save. This episode will gently guide you to see: Why Jesus chose humility over earthly power The difference between fixing our circumstances vs. our condition How our expectations of God can shape (or strain) our faith What it means to truly surrender control and receive Christ as He is This is not just a history lesson—it’s an invitation. An invitation to lay down your own “palm branches”…your timelines, your plans, your expectations…and trust the Savior who came not just to rescue your situation—but your soul. As we begin this Holy Week journey, let your heart slow down, reflect, and rest in the deep, intentional love of Christ. ✨ Scripture, reflection, application, and prayer included. Hosanna. He has come to save. Listen, reflect, and prepare your heart for the cross this week. And remember, lovely—because of Him, you are already held in grace.
