If I personally need insurance or financial services, I know lots of great people. The difficulty for me is selecting which person to hire.  

With multiple good choices, I find it challenging to navigate the hard conversations I must have with those friends with whom I don’t choose to do business.  

Each circumstance leads to an ultimate decision that I may deem best, but it leaves me with trying to communicate my decision to those who may feel rejected. 

In Luke 6:31, Jesus said, “As you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.” 

When faced with multiple options that may impact your relationships, it helps to treat each person as you would want to be treated. That usually means candid, but loving, answers to their questions.
