"if I perish, I perish". Esther 4:16
I could remember years back when this text became a reality to me. I was about making a crucial decision for God's glory that could literally destroy my whole life and career from a worldly perspective, but I was determined to make the right decision in following Jesus because I had come to the end of my self but in all God favored me because he saw my sincere heart to please him.
I didn't perish as I thought I would, but yet I could see God achieving something in me from that day on, "dying to self"
I strongly believe this is one of God's Call to every believer In Christ. Ester was not even in the new covenant, yet she knew how to die to self. She knew that doing God's will was going to place a cost on her life even if it cost her life or her crown.
