Let us first turn to the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul, Matthew 16:26 WEB.
We will pray for you, and encourage you as a manager. Let us remember Jesus' words in the Gospel of Matthew, Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you, Matthew 5:11-12 WEB. We are encouraged to consider it a blessing when we are falsely accused, and not to be surprised as John writes in his epistle, 1 John 3:13 WEB, Do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you, not as if the world hated you personally. We find comfort in the truth of the Scriptures.
We acknowledge that the Worker is worthy of his wages, 1 Timothy 5:18 WEB, and so we understand that as an employer it is important to do right by your employees. However, there is no commandment to be a people pleaser, Galatians 1:10 WEB, For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ. It is important to treat employees fairly and honestly, Colossians 4:1 WEB Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. In this situation, it is important to realize that you are not responsible for Roger Perez's actions or words, but for your own. You honored his request for a three-week notice prior to his departure, and that shows your integrity as an HR Manager.
Let us pray.
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ and ask for your guidance and wisdom in this situation. We rebuke the work of Satan in this situation. Lord, we ask that you protect the reputation of this servant and that you turn back the lies and deceit of the enemy. We ask that you bring truth to light and that you turn back the schemes of the evil one, Ephesians 6:11 WEB, Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We pray for Roger Perez, that you turn his heart from falsehood and lead him to truth and honesty. We ask that you provide the best solution for this situation, Lord, and that you protect your servant from any harm that may come from these false accusations. We ask these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
