Your Question:
What if I have to give up my home and my business?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of uncertainty in your question. If you have to give up your home and your business, I want to remind you that our worth and identity are not tied to material possessions. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with the idea of losing their sense of security and purpose when they lose their home or business. But I want to encourage you to see this as an opportunity to re-evaluate your priorities and focus on what truly matters. You see, our home and business may be important, but they are not our ultimate security. Our hope and trust should be in the Lord, who is our Rock and our Refuge. As it says in 1 Timothy 6:7, "We have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either." This is a liberating truth, my friend. It means that we are free to let go of our attachments to material possessions and focus on what truly brings us joy and fulfillment. As I reflect on my own life, I'm reminded of the importance of living a simple and intentional life. My wife Susan and I have always sought to prioritize our relationship with God and our family above all else. We've learned to be content with what we have and to trust that God will provide for us. So, if you have to give up your home and business, I encourage you to see this as a chance to re-evaluate your priorities and focus on what truly matters: your relationship with God and the people you love.
