When Esther entered the palace, her identity was no longer Mordecai's niece whose role was to help her uncle with the household chores. When David entered the palace, he was no longer the little shepherd boy who looked after the sheep in the fields. They were now subjects of the palace. Their lives were totally changed. They were given new garments. They now belonged to the king.
Think about it, the only thing you know in life is what has already happened, it is hard to know the future and be certain of what is to come, it seems that at times life throws things at you from nowhere and it can be hard to deal with it.
However you need to embrace the you that you want to be and that you are becoming. Yes you are labelled by who people say you are, however the biggest label you wear is the one you put on yourself, if you state that "I am just .... a daughter, a mother and employee"; then that is all you will ever be.
If you say " I am just... not good enough, ugly, worthless." then that is how you will feel and see yourself.
In the world we live in you can be anything and everything you want to be but the one thing that holds you back is your mindset. we think about who we have been thus far, rather than who I can be. If you have let Christ into your life then you are a new creation ( 2 Corinthians 5:17) and you have a new identity. You now belong to the King!!
The question you should be asking yourself is.. "who does God say I am"? We are all placed here for a certain time just as Esther was called to be Queen, therefore step into your destiny today; don't let the chains and labels of the past hold you there, rather step in your metaphorical palace today and discover your new identity in Christ.
Here is a video by Philippa Hanna that sums up what I have been saying.
