Will We Pretend to Love Others or Really Love Them?
In today’s message we talk through the importance of respect and honor in relationships, according to scripture. Let’s walk through Esther 1, 2, & 3, and let’s look at the ways in which King Xerxes’ disrespect and dishonor of his wife (Queen Vashti) negatively affected their relationship. Let’s also look at Esther’s decision to use what God had given her to honor the Lord and those around her. Let’s use our gifts as a way to show respect and lift others up, not to make others feel negatively and to lift up ourselves. Lord, be at the center of our relationships, and make them healthy.
