Take a long look in the mirror, after you pray this Lazaroo out loud:

“Then the king’s personal attendants proposed, ‘Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king. Let the king appoint commissioners in every province of his realm to bring all these beautiful girls into the harem at the citadel of Susa. Let them be placed under the care of Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let beauty treatments be given to them. Then let the girl who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.’ This advice appealed to the king, and he followed it.”
(Esther 2:2-4)

Seriously?

Doesn’t sound like they had to twist the king’s arm.

Disgusting.

Which is why I have to ask:

Is this who I am, Jesus?

Do I follow only the advice I want to hear?

Or am I ready and willing to listen

really listen

when the advice is good

but hard.
