The character of Ahsoka didn’t exactly receive the warmest of welcomes when she first joined the franchise in the Clone Wars animated movie from either her fictional mentor or the Star Wars fanbase… but she forged through the painful experience of being the unwanted padawan of Anakin to a feared warrior with few equals. Ahsoka grew from an undesired apprentice into a respected Jedi before forging her own path into an entirely new destiny… all because she refused to let her pain define her, but instead used it to refine her into the hero we didn’t even know we needed at the time.

Real-world heroines such as Sarah, Ruth and Esther could have easily allowed the pain that caused one to be barren, left one a widow, and another an orphan to define them… but they pushed through these hardships and tragedies to become the champions that their stories and ours needed. Our hard times in life are real and they hurt, but they are also the refining fire that the Lord will use to bring unbelievable miracles to life. If our story feels unreasonably hard, it’s proof of an incredible destiny that couldn’t have been achieved any other way.

But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.” Ruth 1:16 

By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Hebrews 11:11

Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14
