Esther , one of the young virgins selected to be the next Queen in Persia to replaced the disobedient Queen Vashti. In order to meet the requirements of a Queen, Esther and other young women undergo beauty treatments-6months of oil of myrrh, 6 months with special perfumes and ointments. )

 ..verse^3 ..Let the king appoint commissioners in every province of his realm to bring all these beautiful young women into the harem at the citadel of Susa. Let them be placed under the care of Hegai, the king&.rsquo.s eunuch, who is in charge of the women. and let beauty treatments be given to them.

^{verse 12 ..}Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus (xerxes), after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women.)

The moment had come and Esther chosen to be the next Queen of Persia, King Xerxes loved and adored her so much and all people amazed because of her peculiar beauty that really stands out among other womens. As seventh year of king xerxes reigns, he declared and set the royal crown on Esther .

In this world, we do have a competition for Ms. Universe, earth, world and other beauty pageants that really make womans stand out and push their advocacy besides from their beauty. Same as Esther, candidates also undergo a lot of training to improve ,grow ,mold their physical appearance, their emotions, knowledge and the way they condition themselves are also needs improvements. How bout our spiritual life? Of course, we need to undergo treatments too in order to be good in the eyes of our beloved God. What treatments for our spiritual life? Its a matter of meditation-soaking in bible, doing our personal devotions, prayer without ceasing, attend church to hear and learn more. Exercising the authority as a believers of Christ , feel the presence of God through other believers ,life group, cell group and more. Lastly, we should be holy as much as we can, free our lives with sins, free from temptations as much as possible in order to meet the God&.rsquo.s standards. We know that if we are in God, there is sanctification and purification from past lifes and sins. In order to be pleasant in our God we should undergo Spiritual treatments too. Its good to pamper ourselves with beauty treatments but as much as possible, our spiritual life should be pamper too.. Godbless ..
