We should find out why our
loved ones are sad.
Esther instructed
Hathak, the king's eunuch attending her,
to find out why Mordecai
was so distressed.
Mordecai told Hathak
about everything that had happened to him,
including the exact
amount of money Haman had promised
to pay into the royal
treasury for the destruction of the Jews.
He also gave Hathak a
copy of the edict issued in Susa for their annihilation,
to show to Esther and
explain the situation to her.
He urged Hathak to
instruct Esther to go to the king
and beg for mercy and
plead for her people
(Esther 4:5-8).
When I meditate on these
words,
I learn the lesson that
we should find out why our loved ones are sad.
Additionally, our loved
ones need to open their hearts
and share honestly why
they are sad.
And when they plead with
us,
we should listen
attentively to their requests.
