Esther 2:14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
Esther 2:15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed.

The verse centers on "called", "light", "evening", "went", "morrow", "returned", "second", and "house". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "called" and "light", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 13's "Then thus came every maiden unto the..." into verse 15's "Now when the turn of Esther the...", so "called" and "light" belong inside that flow. In Esther context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "called" and "light" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
