Take a moment to consider Esther’s development over time. We can look back and see her courage, but was that simply a trait she always had? Was she always confident and strategic? Was she a “natural, born leader?” 

The answers to these questions may surprise you. Esther is a case study in a life that made significant progress as she walked through the doors of destiny. She was probably surprised at the person she became. 

Let’s go back through the story and pay more attention to who Esther was before and after crisis.
