Dear Young One,
Have you ever felt like God is quiet?
Like you’re trying your best but you don’t see big signs, big miracles, or clear answers?
The book of Esther teaches something very powerful. It never mentions God directly. Have you noticed that? But that makes the story special.
Though God’s name is not written on the page, not even once. Yet, when you read it, you can feel His presence there.
And that is a beautiful lesson for you.
Sometimes, even when you cannot see God clearly, He is still working in your story.
Esther was just a young woman living her life. She didn’t plan to become queen. She didn’t plan to face d@nger. She didn’t know the has the capacity to become a hero.
She was scared. In the midst of her fear, she could have stayed silent but she chose courage. She chose to stand up for people.
Mordecai reminded her that maybe she was placed where she was for such a time.
That message is for you too.
You may not always hear loud signs or see miracles. Life may feel confusing. That situation you’re facing may be for a reason. Just like in Esther’s story.
When you choose courage over fear.
When you stand up for what is right.
When you help someone who is being treated unfairly.
When you trust even in silence.
Even when you’re not powerful, or feel ready or be opportuned but through your choices, courage and kindness, you may fulfil your destiny.
God can be working behind the scenes.
You do not have to see God’s name written everywhere to know He’s guiding you. Sometimes the greatest miracles happen quietly.
You might be where you are for a special reason.
And just like Esther, you can choose bravery. You can decide to stand up and choose the right course.
