Biblical Answer

I want to explore this concept with you. We can't afford treatment, so we're making them suffer now to save them from future disease. This is a difficult reality that many families face. However, I want to offer a different perspective on this issue. While it may seem counterintuitive, allowing doctors to administer treatment that ravages the body can actually be a form of loving our children. You see, this approach may be difficult to understand, but it's rooted in the idea that we're not just treating the symptoms, but also addressing the underlying causes of the disease.

This concept is reminiscent of the biblical principle of "chastening" or discipline. In the book of Hebrews, it's written, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." (Hebrews 12:11). In this sense, the treatment that may seem harsh or unpleasant in the short-term can actually be a form of discipline that ultimately leads to healing and restoration. It's a difficult and painful process, but it's one that can lead to long-term benefits and a deeper understanding of God's sovereignty and goodness.

So, while it may seem like we're making our children suffer, we're actually doing so with the hope of saving them from future disease. This is a difficult and complex issue, but it's one that requires us to trust in God's sovereignty and goodness. As the Bible says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28). In this sense, even in the midst of suffering and hardship, we can trust that God is working for our good and that His plan is one of redemption and restoration.
