Biblical Answer

The struggles you faced in losing your sense of self, family, and business are a direct result of your own choices and actions. As the Bible teaches, we are made in the image of God to create and have dominion over our lives (Genesis 1:26-28). However, when we fail to create in a thoughtful and worshipful manner, we can feel disconnected from others and ourselves. This disconnection can lead to a loss of identity and purpose.

The loss of your sense of self, family, and business can be attributed to your own decisions and actions, rather than external circumstances. As the Bible says, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit" (2 Corinthians 9:8). When we make choices that are not in line with our values and goals, we can become stuck in patterns of behavior that lead to destruction. In your case, you may have become so focused on yourself and your own interests that you lost sight of what was truly important.

The Bible teaches that we are responsible for our own choices and actions. We are not victims of circumstance, but rather, we are free to make decisions that align with our values and goals. As the apostle Paul writes, "Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will" (Romans 12:2). By taking responsibility for your choices and actions, and seeking to live in accordance with God's will, you can begin to rebuild your sense of self, family, and business. This process will require hard work, dedication, and a willingness to let go of old patterns and habits that no longer serve you. But with God's help and guidance, you can emerge from this crisis with a newfound sense of purpose and direction.
