Scripture

Esther 4:13-17  (BSFL*)

Translation

NIV

What God said to me

You are correct when you think that you are replaceable. If you do not follow through with the tasks I have for you, someone else can. If you do not praise Me, the rocks can. You are replaceable. However, just because someone or something else can do the things you do does not mean that they can do those things with the same essence as you. I may not need you, but I want you. I have brought you through a unique set of experiences to uniquely prepare you for the plans I have for you.

What I said to God

You really know how to make a girl feel special…and fearful. How incredibly special that You have chosen me! Who am I that You would choose me? I am also aware that uniqueness incurs responsibility. How incredibly fearful I am of letting You down! For every moment of every day be my guide and stay.
