Your Question:
Can I still be a good Christian with all these medical bills?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of those medical bills bearing down on you. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with financial burdens, but I want to remind you that your worth and identity are not defined by your financial situation. Your eye should be on what God wants to do through you and those around you, not on the technical details of your financial struggles. When facing a crisis, it's essential to look back to your life purpose and ask if this new step of faith will help you accomplish it. In your case, I believe that God is working through you, even in the midst of these medical bills. Remember, David said, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases" (Psalm 103:2-3). God is faithful and just, and He is working through the medical professionals and treatments to bring healing to your body. Don't be satisfied with just collecting insurance or focusing on the earthly blessings. Instead, keep your eye on God's goodness and faithfulness. As the Bible says, "Train your eye on these earthly blessings, and gauge God's goodness by what you see" (Mere Christianity). But when the hardships come, and they will come, you will look out and have no evidence of God's goodness. That's when you'll need to trust in His goodness and faithfulness, even when you can't see it.
