“How could I make my cousin understand that I had no influence, though I still wore a crown? Xerxes had removed the shield of his love from me when he had cut himself off from my presence. But Mordecai was not as convinced as I that the strength of my husband's abandonment could outmatch the power of God's intention. "Who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?" my dear cousin asked me. As far as he was concerned, with or without the king's affections, God could open the doors of favor to me.” — Tessa Afshar
