Esther 4:14 (KJV):
"…and who knoweth whether
thou art come to the
kingdom for such a time as this?”
Not Side Characters
The world wrote them off—
but the Word wrote them in.
From the garden to the grave,
from the empty tomb to the upper room—
women were never background figures.
They carried stories.
They carried truth.
They carried the flame
when others fled the fight.

Carriers of Covenant
Sarah laughed—
but birthed a nation.
Ruth followed—
and stepped into a royal line.
Hannah wept—
and prayed a prophet into the world.
Mary obeyed—
and carried the Messiah in her womb.
When God wanted to move,
He often whispered first to a woman—
and she answered.
———
Strength in Softness
They called her helper—
but that word meant warrior.
Deborah judged with wisdom.
Esther risked her life for her people.
The bleeding woman pushed through the crowd.
The sinful woman wept at His feet.
Strength isn’t always loud.
Faith doesn’t always shout.
But Heaven listens to the prayers
poured out in secret.
———
Redeemed and Remembered
Tamar.
Rahab.
Ruth.
Bathsheba.
The woman at the well.
Their stories were not erased—
they were redeemed.
Their shame wasn’t their ending.
It was the place where grace began.
God doesn’t discard the broken.
He restores them—
and rewrites legacies.

The Fire Continues
The Bible’s pages closed—
but the Spirit did not stop moving.
Today, the flame is still carried—
by mothers, teachers, daughters, warriors.
By those who pray,
by those who fight,
by those who quietly raise generations
in truth and love.
The story is still being written—
through them.
Final Flame:
Daughter of God—
you are not forgotten.
You are not a footnote.
You are not “just” anything.
You are seen.
You are called.
You are a flame in His story—
burning bright,
for His glory,
in this time and in this place.
Carry it well.
The Kingdom still needs you.
Well done! I love the comprehensiveness!
