Are Boundaries Biblical?? YES!!
As Christians we need boundaries in order to have healthy
relationships. It is easy to overlook this important step. Boundaries
are an important part of our lives and others. It is important for our
spiritual, physical, mental and emotional health.
Think of boundaries as your personal fence, that protects your
personal space. You are at a healthy distance, but it keeps out anyone
or anything that can cause harm, physically, mentally or emotionally. It
is a line where you end and they begin. It defines who you are, a
sense of ownership.
It allows you to be in control of your time, energy, resources and money,
when to say yes and when to say no. You decide what you will and will
not tolerate.
Sometimes people are difficult, hurtful, and hard to be around. They
suck the life right out of you, zap your energy, get you off track,
discourage you, and damage you emotionally, and leave you feeling
awful. If you feel like this, it is time to set boundaries.
Boundaries are for us personally(this is my jurisdiction and you don't
have the right to cross it), this helps protect us from people who have
no self control.
We should pray and forgive, and hand it over to God!
Forgiveness doesn't mean we have to let them back in.
Forgiveness is given and trust is earned!
Even Jesus set boundaries!
Matthew 14:22-23(Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the
boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the
crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by
himself to pray.
Mark 1:35(Very early in the morning, while it was still
dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where
he prayed)
**Jesus took care of his needs, and he prioritized his time, so should we!
