we all need boundaries...and we can't set boundaries without love ❤️ ~ OKECHUKWUVITUSS

We can't set good boundaries without LOVE

Now friend, this is where I want to look straight into your eyes and say something really important. Good Boundaries and Goodbyes isn't a study about leaving people. It's a study about loving people in right and healthy ways. And it's about communicating appropriate boundaries and parameters so that love can stay safe and sustainable.

Good boundaries help us preserve the love within us even when some relationships become unsustainable and we must accept the reality of a goodbye.

Throughout this study, we'll seek to honestly examine what is and is not healthy in our hearts but also in the relationships where we invest our hearts. After all, God's ultimate assignment is for us to love Him and love others. And this is exactly what Jesus taught and modeled. "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34).

But we can't enable bad behavior in ourselves and others and call it love. We can't tolerate destructive patterns and call it love. And we can't pride ourselves on being loyal and longsuffering in our relationships when it's really perpetuating violations of what God says love is.

Love must be honest.

Love must be safe.

Love must seek each person's highest good.

And love must honor God to experience the fullness and the freedom of the sweetest connection between two humans.

So, as we take this journey, let's remember the real purpose of good boundaries. Boundaries protect the right kind of love and help prevent dysfunction from destroying that love.

Boundaries help us say what needs to be said, do what needs to be done, and establish what is and isn't acceptable.

Love should be what draws us together not what tears us apart.

This won't be the easiest message to apply to your life, but it will likely be one of the most valuable steps you take toward emotional health and better relationships.

And the best part of it all, you won't be alone. I'll be with you as we trust God to lead us through every word and every next step. I hope you'll join us.
