Iza Calzado on Easter Sunday: 'Thank You Lord, for saving me'
Iza Calzado took the time to reflect on Easter Sunday.
On Instagram, the Filipina actress shared an old photo of her taken in 2022 holding a wooden cross that bares the Bible verse John 3:16.
In the next slide was her daughter Deia's little hands holding the same cross.
"Easter is a day filled with joy and hope as we celebrate the victory of light over darkness. It is a reminder of God's love for all of us," Iza wrote.
Iza then looked back to the time when she took the photo and remembered how bad was her disposition in life back then.
"I was not in a good place then. My prayer, at that time, was that He leads me to the path best for me," she said. "A few months after, I found out I was carrying life inside me. The answer could not be any clearer."
Before ending her post, the first-time mom thanked the Lord, and said that she is now blessed with a loving and healthy child in her life who reminds her of "how great God's love is."
"This cross reminds me that God is faithful. Full of joy and hope in my heart, I pray I get to glorify His name in all that I do. Thank You Lord, for saving me," Iza ended.
Iza married her husband Ben Wintle in a beach wedding in 2018. The actress announced her pregnancy on her 40th birthday.
They welcomed Deia Amihan on January 2023. She is named after Iza's iconic "Encantadia" character.
Iza spent her first birthday as a mom with a dance party last August.
