The most recent Godllywood Self-Help meeting revealed that being an exemplary woman is not synonymous with strength, wisdom, and control, but rather with the ability to overcome daily battles.
There is a common belief that a role model is a woman that never faces a moment of weakness. However, in reality, an inspiring woman is not exactly like that. A woman who gives a good reference is the one who overcomes problems, even with obvious limitations.
Mrs. Helena Marques, who held the meeting, cited the example of Queen Esther, a young orphan without a structured family. The Bible mentions that she was taken to the palace with many other young women to be chosen by the king, facing the risk of being forgotten for the rest of her life.
When faced with a problem, at no point does the Bible say that she was strong. On the contrary, when put to the test by Mordecai, she was initially filled with fear.
However, the dangerous situation Esther faced made her react boldly. Esther presented herself to the king and decided that no matter what happened, she would do her part.
This teaches us that all situations and conflicts are opportunities for us to give a good reference, even if you are an ordinary woman, who is sentimental and cries in secret. If you cry before God and seek His guidance, He will show you what to do.
