Your Question:
can i still have a sense of self-worth after losing my job?
Answer:
Losing your job can be a difficult experience, but it's not the end of the world. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of worthlessness and self-pity after losing their job. But the truth is, our worth and value come from who we are in Christ, not from our job or our accomplishments. When we focus on our own abilities and achievements, we can become prideful and forget that our true worth comes from God. It's easy to get caught up in the idea that our self-worth is tied to our job performance and success. But the Bible teaches us that our worth and value come from being children of God, not from our accomplishments. When we lose our job, it's not a reflection of our worth as a person. In fact, it can be an opportunity for us to re-evaluate our priorities and focus on what truly matters. As the Bible says, "You are of Christ, and Christ is of God" (1 Cor. 3:23). Our identity and worth come from Christ, not from our job. As I reflect on my own life, I realize that my worth and value come from being a husband, father, and pastor. My job is not what defines me, but rather my relationship with God and my family. When I'm struggling with feelings of self-doubt and worthlessness, I remind myself of my identity in Christ and the love and acceptance I have from God and my family. I encourage you to do the same. Remember that your worth and value come from God, not from your job or your accomplishments.
