Orphan Made Royalty

Today I was drawn to Esther. Thinking about trials and tribulations in life and how to over come them with God's help I am reminded of a young woman who risked her life to save her people.

Esther, an orphan, in exile, a Jew was chosen because of her beauty. God gives us all special gifts and her beauty was not the only gift she had. She loved the Lord her God. She loved her People. Just as we are called to do today.  During her 1 year preparation period she learned about her husband to be. The king of Persia. His previous wife had dishonored him and he in turned divorced her. And was looking for a more beautiful replacement. Someone that would honor him in all things.  Women had zero power.

In many situations you may feel you have NO power. You are back up against the wall. Can't see the way to make it better.

But God.

There is a way. God has it. He knows it. He is ready and willing to make it happen. We must surrender. Wholeheartedly seek Him. And He will make that way. He will split the seas. He will make a path through the wilderness. He will cut the anchor. Break the chains. Open the doors. 

Why?

Because you have been adopted by the One True King!  An adopted child can never be disowned. That child is forever in the care of the parent. And  God, Our Father can never, will never disown us. You are HIS. He has written your name on His Hands. Engraved it on HIS heart.

God wants to give us INFINITELY more than we can imagine. And He asks for what? Humility. Whole Heart. Seeking. A relationship. When we start with those then He moves. MIGHTILY. When we draw near to Him. He draws near to us. He strengthens us. He opens the floodgates because He loves us. Don't waver Child of God. Seek first His Kingdom. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and Love your neighbor as yourself. Let it all go. Trust God Resist the Devil. and be steadfast. He will bring you to perfect peace. He will split the seas. And you. YOU will walk through it Shining with your crown.

Be Blessed Princes and Princesses of the King of All Creation. You were not chosen because of your outward beauty. But for the beauty of your heart.
