Esther knee and recited the Lords Prayer many times in her life. She sincerely asked for Gods will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Here is part of that will that will comfort us. In the book of John, Jesus clearly states that Gods will is for all those to hear his voice, in every memorial tomb and grave it will be heard and all will be resurrected. 5:28&29;. Then John 3:16 will have fulfillment so Esther will not only be back from the dead with all of our loved ones but also have the opportunity of everlasting life on an earth of peace. Just as God intended from the beginning. What a wonderful day that will be.
