hey say "Some people don't know the value of what they have until they lose it." And that's the unfortunate case of some people today.

For some days now, the Book of Esther has been ringing in me, but one part that's striking is that of Queen Vashti. Now Queen Vashti was beautiful alright, equipped with all that it takes to take care of the kingdom of Persia along with her (then) husband King Ahasuerus; but her character not only disregarded and devalued the king, it also got her dethroned as queen, and was later replaced by Esther.

The point is this: my dear fellow sisters in Christ (especially those of you who are in courtship or engaged or even married), cherish the man that God has given to you, don't disregard him in any way, shape or form. Because the day/minute you do so (via impatience, materialism, even through your character o), it smells trouble; and if you don't mend your ways, in due time, you will be replaced.

Likewise the brothers, the woman God has given to you, do not devalue nor take her for granted in any way. Because if you keep disregarding your lady, God will just send somebody else to take your place o.

I remember watching a very powerful @mztelevision movie called "The Ignition", which explains the danger of disregarding the person God has given to you (through impatience in this case).

This one of the painful ways some sisters (and some brothers) miss out on God's perfect will in marriage.

May this never be your lot, in Jesus' Name.
