"What can wash away my sin?...."
Esther had been thoroughly washed and anointed. She was ready to approach the King as he sat on his throne. She had waited until she was ready and had not gone before the king prematurely and unprepared. She had met Hegai's every requirement to become fully prepared. She had also met regularly in the courtyard with her uncle Mordecai during those days of preparation. He had reinforced two things in her mind which might have seemed strange to Esther. However, she took his wishes to heart: 1) do not tell the King you are a Jewess; 2) do not tell the king you are related to me.
Many women came before the king but still he waited for that special someone.
"Waiting, I keep waiting, still anticipating love,
Never hesitating to become the fated ones,
Turning every turn to some secret place to hide,
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say, my love
Take my breath away..."
Moroder and Whitlock
Scripture says that when with Esther, the king loved her more than any of the other women and he gave her grace and favor.
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Hebrews 4:6
