Just like a Phoenix (the legendary bird), there are some painful places that may make us feel burned, but God uses those circumstances to regenerate and restore us to our original purpose. This will be parallel to Crystal's life where God took her through her own beautification process which launched her into purpose. During her personal process, Crystal realized that God wants to use our past pain to push us into purpose within the palace, just as God did with Esther. God wants all of His women healed, and whole. He desires us to be in a position where we know our purpose, and we walk in it and complete the mission that He assigned us. Esther's story reminds us that no matter what we experience in life, God wants us to become the purposed version of ourselves. In intimacy with God, we discover who we are, what we are called to be, and understand what makes us fearfully and wonderfully made and prepared for the palace. Sit back and watch how God will unfold your purpose and push you towards life-changing destiny.
