And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.
He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things
have passed away."

Queen Esther knew who was with her. She knew who she was, and what she needed to do- and she rose to the task.
She was bold. She spoke up in a palace that was not built for her voice. But she spoke anyway.
She did not know what God's plan was, but she knew what she needed to do. She had eyes to see what God had placed in her hands and upon her heart- and she acted accordingly.
In Spirit and Truth
Oct 14, 2025 by Addison Crissone
Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is a spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. The woman said, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he does, he will tell us all things."
Jesus said to her, "I who speak am he."

"And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him,
'Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today."

who is a sinner."
Joy

The book of Philippians is such a book of joy.

But what if I told you that the circumstances of this epistle to the Philippian church were brought forth from anything joyous times?

You are valuable.
You are a treasure—a reward.
Don't you believe it?
Why else would God send his one and only Son, whom he loved and valued as a father does his child, to die on a cross in exchange for you and me? Jesus swapped places with us for a time so that we might not taste the sting of death and so that we might be redeemed, restored, and redfined by His blood and the Father's love.

Mistreatment

"Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they
gathered the whole battalion before him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,
and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand.
And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!"
And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. And when they had mocked him, they
stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him."
