Historians tell us that during the selection process of finding a new wife for the King of Persia, the virgins were able to keep whatever they took with them on their night. When the royal treasuries were opened for the girls, you can imagine they placed rings on every finger, diamonds hanging around their necks and gold bangles stacked all up their arms. Most young ladies thought “Great if this doesn't work out, at least I get paid for my troubles.  Of course when the girls came into the king, he could see what they had taken from his treasure for themselves.Finally when Esther came in, she appeared without riches or jewels. The King knew her heart was saying “I don't want your riches I want you.”  Esther didn't want the glory or the gold or all the things she could have had, she only wanted the King himself.Friend we love God not for the treasure He can give us, but regardless of anything He gives us beyond himself  -  He is the treasure.
