One of my favorite stories in the bible has to be the story of Esther. She had one of the greatest missions to see her people, and that took courage and faith. Such an inspiring story which is one of the reasons I love it so much. When you really get to think about it she was a true living princess! Now when I think of Esther I see a beautiful young woman who stands tall and is confident in her mission. It all started when the king saw her in a crowd and she stood out to him.
What do you think made Esther stand out from all of the other beautiful girls? I would like to think it was her modest dress and how she presented herself that made her even more beautiful to the king. Do you think the king would have taken her seriously when she came to him if she was immodestly dressed? I want you to close your eyes and imagine what Esther would have looked like. In my mind I see a tall, strong young woman clothed in a royal blue dress with a fitting crown. She was separated from the crowd as we should from the world. This is another great reason that we dress the way that we do, in modesty. We should aspire to be like Queen Esther! Next time that you go shopping think to yourself "Would Queen Esther wear this?"
