Being Esther :)

“And who knows but that you have come to this royal position for such a time as this?”

What is our God-given mission?Have we thought of it anytime!What is it that God wants you or me to do that we’re not so comfortable doing?If we do it we could be ridiculed or persecuted.Do we have the courage to do such things? We might feel some embarrassment or we might feel it as a shame.We might find ourselves going against the flow, losing family or friends, fame , health, love or even life. We need the courage to do god given missions.These God-given missions don’t necessarily have to be life and death.They may just be opportunities to help others out with some self-sacrifice.Are we ready to sacrifice ourselves to help anyone?often it is a No. Queen Esther teaches us about a God-driven submission.Esther is a great example of a courageous woman in bible..Esther was an orphan who was exalted by god. she saved  the jews by her courage and boldness. When her cousin, Mordecai asked for Esther's help, he assured her that God was going to bring his people through the difficulties they faced. If Esther refused, then she would receive punishment along with the people who wanted to kill the Jews. But Mordecai also challenged Esther.

“For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this”(esther4:14).. It took courage and boldness for Esther to approach the king for her mission. She was literally risking her life, as she herself was a Jew. She took the courage to do the god given mission for her. We, too, may have to risk all that is dear to us when we speak up for what is right. And like Esther, we can be sure that the results of our efforts are in God's hands - even if it costs us our lives to do what is right. When we trust God, things in our lives never happen accidently. When the stream of hope dries up in our lives, we should listen carefully to God's instructions for what he wants us to do next.God will speak to us through our prayers. It is dangerous for us to staywhere God supplied our needs yesterday, when he instructs us to move on to some new provisions today. It is a beyond imagination  to leave the place of our past comfort and security, but  we have to believe that the same God who took care of us yesterday will take care of us today, tomorrow and every stages in our life. God never forgets our labour of love. God has a preparation time for all of us. He has his own time for everything in our lives. Moses spent 40 years in the desert looking after sheep before coming to deliver the Israelites. Joseph was in jail until it was God's time for him to be released.

Ester believed he was a man with the capability of being a great leader,motivator,preacher and lot more.He could become a great worker for the good of mankind.Instead,,he forgets all of his worth and becomes the scum of the earth.He becomes the slave of nefarious mankind.He dedicates his life to gaffers.Even though Ester failed in him, her hurts made her stronger day by day..She believed' We must respect where respect is due..for a pimp can change and be as good as you.As she walked through the empty streets,her shadow whispered 'BABY.. pimps dont fall in love'....

  പാതി ഉറക്കം എഴുനേറ്റു രാവിലെ തന്നെ നടക്കാൻ ആരംഭിച്ചു .തിരമാലകൾ പോലെ ഓരോ നഷ്ടങ്ങളും ഓർമയിൽ ഒന്നിന് പുറകെ ഒന്നായി ഇരമ്പിയെത്തുന്നുണ്ട്.. പക്ഷെ ആത്മാവിൽ ആരോ ആശ്വസിപ്പിക്കുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. കാലുകളുടെ ക്ഷീണം അറിയാതെ, താളം തെറ്റാതെ നടന്നു കൊണ്ടേ ഇരുന്നു .. തിരക്കുകൾ ഇല്ലാത്ത ഈ ഒറ്റപ്പെടൽ എന്നും ഭയമായിരുന്നു. മനസിനെ നേർവരയിൽ നിർത്തുവാൻ കഴിയാത്ത നിമിഷങ്ങൾ.. തന്നെ മറ്റൊരു അവസ്ഥയിലേക്ക് എത്തിക്കുന്ന ഒറ്റപ്പെടൽ.. ഒടുവിൽ നിയോഗം പോലെ ആ തീരത്തു തന്നെ എത്തി. താൻ ഇരിക്കാറുള്ള ആ ചെറിയ മതിൽ.. എത്ര വർഷങ്ങൾ ആയി നിന്നെ കണ്ടിട്ട്.. തന്റെ ഏകാന്തതയിൽ അന്നും എന്നും നീ മാത്രമാണ് കൂട്ടിനുണ്ടായിട്ടുള്ളത്. നിന്നെ കാണാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞല്ലോ. തനിച്ചിരുന്നു എത്ര വേദന നിന്നോട് പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്. ഇന്നു എന്താണ് പറയുക? ഒന്നും മിണ്ടാതെ ഇരിക്കട്ടെ കുറച്ചു നേരം. ഒന്ന് കണ്ണടച്ചു. എവിടെ നിന്നോ വന്ന കാറ്റു, തന്നെ തഴുകി കടന്നു പോയി. പ്രതീക്ഷയുടെ ഒരു നാമ്പ് എന്നിലേക്ക് ഇട്ടു തന്നുവോ, അതോ തോന്നലാണോ.. അങ്ങകലെ സൂര്യനും മുങ്ങി താഴാൻ തുടങ്ങിയിരുന്നു.. ഇരുട്ടിന്റെ കോമാളി വേഷം കാണാൻ താൽപര്യം ഇല്ലാത്തതിനാൽ വിറങ്ങലിച്ച മതിലിനെ തനിച്ചാക്കി വീണ്ടും ന

I am happy that today's post is a testimony too! God has been showing his love in many ways..and today i realised that i am under his protection and nothing can come against it.His angels will protect us and our family.We  were saved from a massive fire that brokeout in our next flat.And before it entered our flat,god stopped it.Eventhough my fellowmates were worried about our home as wewere standing outside the building,without knowingwhat was happening inside,fear never came to me.As i stood there and prayed i saw my home, protected by his angels.And there was no place for fear in my mind.   "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone"(psalms (91).That day,i realized the meaning of what  this  psalm does to our lives.everyday i pray this psalm when i wake up in the morning.In every areas of my life god's verses have saved me.thankyou god.
