We talk about relationships – we talk about boundaries – we understand what we need – yet – sometimes it’s nice to simply remind ourselves of the reality of it all.
The truth is – when we get close to people the boundaries can get fuzzy – and in a relationship without boundaries, if we’re not careful – we can find ourselves letting others manipulate us into doing things we really don’t want to do.
We act out of guilt instead of honoring our own needs – we’re champions at letting others offend us without telling them how we actually feel, and friends – this is not how or why God made us.
So yes – the best and Godly way to ensure we are being treated the way we want and should to be treated is to teach them – we have to love and respect ourselves enough to do just that.
We acknowledge what we need in a face to face adult conversation with no pretense – for we know that we know that we know – the only way to have a loving and peaceful relationship is to start with a loving and peaceful relationship with ourselves.
This is how and why we were made – it’s all about people loving people, speaking truth to one another – just the way He intended us to be – simple life tasks to learn simple life tools.
We are loved by love Himself. He loves us big and He loves us strong, and yes – love wins period.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10
