We understand that you're facing a difficult situation with someone who has taken advantage of your kindness. Firstly, we want to encourage you with the words of Psalm 37:5 WEB: "Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this". It's crucial to involve God in this situation and trust in Him to guide you.
However, we also see an opportunity to discuss the importance of wisdom and discernment in our interactions with others. Proverbs 22:3 WEB says, "The prudent see danger and hide themselves; but the simple go on, and suffer for it." It's important to be cautious and discerning in our dealings with others, especially when it comes to lending possessions or money.
Regarding the situation with Ravi Sharma, the particular person did something dishonest and took something his hands did not earn. For it is written, "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." Abstain from meddling in the affairs of others since it is God who judges. Romans 12:17 WEB, Do not return evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
Concerning anything stolen, Ephesians 4:28 WEB For let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need and Ephesians 5:15 WEB.
Seek restoration. Luke 19:8 WEB Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of any man, I restore four times as much.
Gal 5:22-23 WEB, Instead pursue fruit such as love, peace, joy, long suffering, gentleness, patience, goodness, faith, and meekness.
Also, let us discuss the name of Jesus. Do you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior? It is only by his name that we are forgiven and can reach God. Acts 4:12 WEB, There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
Let's pray together. Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Lawyall. We pray that you will guide them in this situation, giving them the wisdom and discernment they need. We ask that your will be done and that you bring restoration and reconciliation in the process. Help Lawyall to trust in you more deeply and to be a shining light for you through this experience. Strengthen their character to be wise as serpents and blameless as doves. We pray that they will be able to navigate this situation genuinely and avoid further harm. Help Ravi Sharma to improve his character and receive repentance. Most importantly, father, open the doors to Lawyall getting to know Jesus as their Saviour. It is only by Him that we are made whole and saved. We ask this in Jesus' name.
