Esther's Courage

Today I read the book of Esther. I have to say it is one of my favorites! I love how God’s hand works behind the scenes and when the time is right He brings forth opportunity to serve Him. Esther had the choice to live outside of her box. It was a hard choice. She faced the possibility of death if she did as she was led to do. Can you imagine the courage it took for her to stand up before the king for her people not knowing if she would be killed because of it? The king was willing to honor her and her request because of his love for her. I can only pray for such love and courage to pour out of my choices each day.
