Inspiring words...
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 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 maids 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." Esther 4:12-16
The Lord has a time, a place and a purpose for each of us. There is no greater joy or fulfillment in life than being God's person in God's place at God's time. You may ask, "where is that place for me?" I don't have the answer to that nor will I ever...but God does!
It's not your job to spend endless hours of mental and emotional energy trying to figure it out. Remember, your life does not revolve around what you want but rather what God wants. In other words, you were not born for you, you were born for God! Simply yield your heart to Him and ask Him to reveal it to you and take you there.
And this is a most essential ingredient..."bloom where you are planted until God moves you." If God can use a young Jewish girl to deliver a nation, He will certainly use you.
