of everyone who saw her. There is no message of striving here. And trust me, Esther was in the beauty contest of the ages in this scripture. See, the king of her day was looking for a new wife, and he had all of the most beautiful virgins brought to him so he could choose the lucky gal. And we thought the Housewives of Beverly Hills were dramatic and competitive! Can you imagine vying for the position of Queen?Be your best, look your best, act your best, look out for number one, make away for yourself – the pressure was on! And in the middle of it all there is Esther, just as she was, winning the admiration of everyone who saw her. Some of the most beautiful people I have ever met wouldn’t qualify to be on the cover of Vogue by the world’s standards, but I have found their God-confidence and purity of heart to be undeniably becoming. Isn’t there something captivating about someone who isn’t trying to be captivating?
