God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:31–35). ...
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.
