When you lend money you cannot afford to lose

The prudent see danger and take refuge instead of ignoring what is obvious.

Proverbs 22:3

When you lend money you cannot afford to lose. Nobody puts that on a vision board, but people live it every day. Pay attention to what this situation is quietly asking you to believe. Truth needs a moment to speak before habit takes the microphone. Healthy limits protect stewardship, peace, and integrity. Let Christ teach you the difference between love and endless availability. Change does not always arrive with a powerful feeling. Choose what is true even if the old feeling is still present.

Are you open to a different response, or only to confirmation of the familiar one? Where might Scripture disagree with the response you prefer?

Jesus Christ, I surrender what I cannot guarantee or force. Teach me where my responsibility ends and surrender begins. Amen.
