This Is Our Sex TalkSample

If you see a child about to run into the street, you’d want to stop them, right? Why? Because past the boundary of the driveway, things can be dangerous. This is an example of why boundaries are important. Healthy boundaries are not there to harm us but to protect us from harm. Boundaries are there for our benefit, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Sometimes living the way God says is best can seem like a limit that holds us back. The good news is that that is not really the case. Living in the shelter and shadow of God or living in the way God says is best actually leads to good things. We can trust that as we set healthy boundaries that line up with what God says is best, God is looking out for us and will give us the rest and care we need. We don’t have to look anywhere else for what we need most. We can trust that God looks out for us and wants what’s best for us.

Today, think about what boundaries may be missing in your life and write out a plan to implement them. Consider evaluating with a friend and welcoming them into the process.
