boundaries

Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 NLT

What does this look like? Does it mean we allow others to use and abuse us? No! What are the limits? Jesus said " do to others what you would have them do to you". If you are seriously messing up your life would you want someone to tell you? Or would you like them to shut up, and allow you to dump all over them? If you answer is the last one, you have problems and expect all boundaries to not apply to you. 

As someone who has had to secure my boundaries,  it is not always easy, but necessary. Knowing the importance of boundaries, as they protect you and others, is paramount. 

Just as selfishness is wrong so is lack of boundaries. Learn to know the difference. Amen!
