Poor Esther. Yes, she gets to become a Queen, but at what cost. She is, essentially, a slave, forced to do a King's bidding no matter what it may mean to her. Can you imagine living that kind of life? It is too simple a thing to call that a difficult life. And yet, through all of that Esther perseveres. She does not publicly declare her faith, but she does move forward with her life. She does not let her hardships in life keep her from living life. On our journey of faith we find ourselves in difficult, sometimes seemingly impossible, situations. These make us question our faith, and our resolve. Jesus never promises an easy journey. What he does promise, though, is that he will be with us every step of the way. What he does promise us is that if we persevere and do not give up we will be blessed beyond all imagination. Keep moving forward, come what may. God bless you.
