Your Question:
why do i feel so guilty for not being able to pay my medical bills?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of guilt you're carrying, and I want you to know that I'm here to offer some perspective. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of guilt and shame, especially when it comes to financial burdens. In this case, it sounds like you're feeling guilty about not being able to pay your medical bills. Now, let me ask you a question: do you think God wants you to bear the weight of guilt and shame for something that's beyond your control? I don't think so. As the verse says, "You become like them, and get trapped in their dangerous way of life." It sounds to me like you're trying to take on the responsibility of paying your medical bills as if it's your duty to prove your worth to God. But that's not what it's about. It's about loving your neighbor as yourself, not trying to earn God's favor. When we do good to others, not because we're trying to show off or earn a reward, but because we see the inherent value and worth in them as human beings made in God's image, that's when we truly learn to love. So, I want to encourage you to let go of the guilt and shame. You're not responsible for paying your medical bills alone. There are people and systems in place to help you navigate this situation. And remember, your worth and value come from being a beloved child of God, not from your ability to pay your bills.
