Your Question:

What if I lose my home and everything I've worked for?

Answer:

Losing everything you've worked for can be a devastating experience. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with the idea of losing their material possessions. But as Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 6:7, "We have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either." This reminds us that our true value and worth come from our relationship with God, not from our wealth or possessions.

When we lose our home and everything we've worked for, it can be a wake-up call to re-evaluate our priorities and values. It's an opportunity to rebuild and restore our spiritual foundation, as it says in 1 Peter 5:5, "God shows favor to the humble." This might involve acknowledging that we've been relying on ourselves and our own strength, rather than on God. It's a chance to start anew and rebuild our lives on a solid foundation of faith.

As a father, I've seen my own children face challenges and setbacks, but I've also seen them learn and grow from those experiences. When we lose everything, it can be a difficult time, but it's also an opportunity to teach our children valuable lessons about faith, perseverance, and resilience. As a family, we can come together and rebuild, using this experience as a chance to grow closer to God and to each other.
