MY KING, MY LOVE... I HAVE A CONFESSION

The Jewish young lady was now the Queen of Persia,
Besides the fact that she was beautiful
the Lord’s favor was also upon her life…
Her uncle stood behind the scenes
And coached her on the road to her God given Destiny…
When her race faced total extinction
By the right hand man of the king,
She could no longer keep silence,
She could no longer hide her ethnic background,
She understood then that she was on that stage
For such a time as this…
So she had to figure out a way to break the news
To not only her husband but also her King,
So she thought that it would be easier to talk about it over a copious meal,
His heart would be delighted and he would listen with an open mind…
So she entered his court without invitation
To the peril of her life to invite him to a banquet,
And all the subjects of the Kingdom,
Were perplexed and wondered if they would have to be in a quest for a new queen…. AGAIN….
But their fear dissipated as the King extend the golden scepter to Queen Esther… (that was close)
And she invited him along with the man who had such evil plan against her race to the banquet..
And the time came for her to host the banquet,
She looked wonderful as always but her heart was in tears,
She was preoccupied but she did not have the courage to reveal her secret yet,
and intercede on behalf of her people,
But her husband could sense that something was the matter…
and she was about to make her confession
And also formulate her petition
But she backed out at the last minute,
How do I tell my Honey that I have a secret,
I might loose the man of my life,
But I must tell him because it is part of my destiny,
So I will have a fine banquet again the next day,
And I will have them come over once more,
Then I will reveal everything to my King,
And I will demask this man's evil plan
I am sure that the King would understand,
I am sure that He will forgive me,
He will save my people for my sake,
I am sure he will… because I am His Bride!!!
