Your Question:

Why did I have to lose my sense of self, and my job, and my business?

Answer:

My friend, I can see that you're struggling with feelings of hopelessness and self-doubt. It's as if you've lost your sense of purpose and direction. I want you to know that I've been in similar shoes, and I've learned that it's not uncommon for people to feel this way when they're facing challenges in their life. Sometimes, we lose our job or our business because we're not in the right place at the right time. It may be a sign from God that we need to make a change, to re-evaluate our priorities and our purpose.

You see, when we're not living up to our potential, when our responsibilities don't align with our abilities, it can be a sign that we need to make a change. It's not about being defeated or giving up, but about being willing to take a step back and assess our situation. As someone who's been in ministry for a while, I can tell you that it's not uncommon for people to feel like they're not good enough or that they're not making a difference. But the truth is, we're all on a mission, and we're all called to be ambassadors of Christ.

I want to encourage you to take a closer look at your situation and to ask yourself some tough questions. What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are your passions and priorities? What does God want you to know and to do in this season of your life? Remember, it's not about being perfect or having all the answers. It's about being willing to learn, to grow, and to trust in God's plan for your life. As the Bible says, "And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us" (Hebrews 11:39-40).
