    What it points to

    Hadassah reveals Esther's true identity beneath her Persian name — sometimes God hides our purpose until the moment He calls us to stand.

    “And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful.”
