One of the most powerful lesson that The Lord want humanity to learn and practice is how Mordecai demonstrated true relationship with Hadassah, that's Queen Esther's by Jewish name- Mordecai took her as his own, raise her in the ways of Yahweh, loved her, made her feel like someone who's both parents were alive, made way for her in the time of opportunity, above all treated her not like rejected stone, but rather someone who can become Corner Stone and see what God did thru her. Folks, for Heaven Sake, let's treat well all men, & people God send our way, for none knows fully what future holds. The Jewish salvation and deliverance was connected to Hadassah-that's Esther's destiny.
Despite she lost all the parents, God destined her Corner Stone & thru Mordecai it came to pass- *[Est 2:/KJV]* 7And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.8So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.9And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women 10Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.11And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her. You can be Mordecai to your generation, & Jesus said in Lk6.31Do to others as you would have them do to you, Mt7.12&13; Lk6.30-32. How do you treat others? Is that how you would have them do to you?
