Remember a queen named Esther‏

Esther 4:

 ¹² When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai, ¹³ he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. ¹⁴ For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
 ¹⁵ Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: ¹⁶ “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”
Read Esther 1-5:
Tomorrow our Jewish brothers and sisters will celebrate the feast of Purim in remembrance of the time that a beautiful young woman of the Jews saved her people by taking a risk and using the gift that God had given her to the glory of God. 
Be mindful of the opportunity you have to make a difference with what God has given you. 
 Let Christ lead and follow with a glad heart.

Amen.
