Decisions and the future
Debts
Financial obligations that weigh on us and limit freedom in daily life.
What the Bible can tell you
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:8
The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender.
Proverbs 22:7
The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
Proverbs 21:5
A human reading
Debts create pressure and shame, but they can be organized step by step. Talking with the person you owe and making a realistic plan is better than hiding the problem. Seeking professional help is also valid.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
