—Esther 4:5-17
by: Gabi Patz.
It is easy to say we would do anything for Jesus, but how many of us would risk our lives for the sake of the gospel? John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (NIV). This is exactly what Esther did. She trusted that God would protect her and that even if her decision cost her her life, she was still working for God’s will. While we may not all be called to put our lives literally on the line, God does call each of us to act outside of our comfort zones for His purpose. Next time God asks you to do something that makes you uncomfortable—or even scared—what will your answer be?
