Your Question:
How do I face my family and tell them I've lost my business?
Answer:
I'm sitting here with my family, Susan and the kids, Joshua and Rebecca, and I'm trying to find the right words to tell them about my business. I've lost it, and I'm not sure how to break the news to them. As a pastor, I know that honesty is always the best policy, but I'm worried about how they'll react. I remember a time when I had to confess a mistake to my congregation, and it was a difficult but necessary step towards healing and growth. I think back to Proverbs 9, the image of a banquet in a grave. It's a powerful reminder that deception can lead to darkness and despair. But when we confess our mistakes and speak the truth to God, we can begin to heal and move forward. I know that I need to be honest with my family, to tell them the truth about my business and take responsibility for my actions. It won't be easy, but I trust that God will guide us through this difficult time. As I prepare to share the news with my family, I'm reminded of the importance of being supportive and loving. I want to create a safe space for them to process their emotions and ask questions. I'll try to couch my words in a way that is encouraging and non-judgmental, just as I would with a member of my congregation. I'll remind them that we've made mistakes before, but God has seen us through, and I have no doubt that He will do the same now.
