Esther 8:6

If I honestly love others the same way that I love myself how can I stand by and dispassionately watch them go without jobs, food, shelter or healthcare? How can I watch them suffer and do nothing? How can I be a doer of God's word? How the love of God is shown by me, by my state or by my country…that determines if we can be called Christian.

Esther, knowing that danger still lurked ahead for her people, pleaded passionately for their lives before the king. Courageously Esther implored the king to revoke Haman's hateful decree against all the Jews in the empire.

8:6 For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?
