Relationships: Setting Healthy Boundaries

Boundaries are simply property lines. Just as fences shows where ones yard ends and another begins, boundary indicates what belong to us and what belongs to others. When we encounter words in the Bible like truth, righteousness, justice, integrity, honesty, and holiness, we should pay attention . They describe some aspect of boundaries for God's people. We have physical boundaries, intellectual boundaries, social boundaries, emotional boundaries, spiritual boundaries, and sexual boundaries. Boundaries are a tool that God use to serve three of His most important values: Love, Responsibility, and Freedom. Many people struggle with relationships in which there is irresponsibility, hurt, or control.They don't know how to handle conflict or even their own responsibilities. Fortunately, God has provided people with great deal of teaching on how to order our lives with the help of boundaries.
