The Importance of Healthy Boundaries

Have you ever noticed how overwhelmed, unsafe, or out of sync you may feel when you haven't set or followed boundaries? I think most of us have experienced a time in our lives when we get too close to a line that we know we shouldn't cross but sometimes we do. It could be in a moment of weakness, or perhaps temptation has crept in. Maybe we even feel justified. But in the end, we don't feel peaceful or gratified and may even experience guilt and shame for crossing a line, ignoring a boundary. Establishing healthy boundaries in our lives allows us to be on a pathway of experiencing the peace that only God can provide. Search God's word for guidance and direction in setting boundaries in your life.
