Bible verses used employment decision

I want to express my gratitude for the Bible verses that helped put my thought at ease...........
We recently had to let go of one of our employees. This was a very difficult decision for us to make when so many are losing jobs. We feel like we tried everything to help him, including meetings, rides to and from work, and letting him stay on after repeated offences.

Through much prayer I came to realize that we were guilty of enabling him to continue in mistakes and it wasn't right or fair for us,him,or our other employees.

S&H 327:22 "Fear of punishment never made man truly honest."
S&H 6:3 "Divine Love corrects and governs man. Men may pardon,but this divine Principle alone reforms the sinner."

So when the offences were repeated again--- it was time to stop and let "wisdom point out the path." And this is when the two Bible verses came to my thought----

"Loose him,and let him go" John 11:44 and
"Let no strife remain between me and thee............for we be brethren."Gen.13:7

What a relief....it was taken right out of my hands and I felt such peace.
In loosing him in my own thought I had to separate any false traits that didn't belong to God's man ( him or anyone else.) And to know our life was in God's hands and that we continue to be about "our Father's business." So, he was told and his first reaction was anger, but later that day he came in to collect his belongings and said he wanted no hard feelings (no strife) and that he already had another job lined up.

Just looking

Elise, I haven't actually taken a look yet at what you created here. Even though we probably won't use this, it's helpful to poke around and discover the possibilities. One thing I discovered by coming to this site is that I'm already registered on a blog here. It's one that was started by a family member for photos and conversation relating to family matters. I didn't realize it was on blogger.com. So the learning continues....
