ESTABLISHING BOUNDARIES About a week ago i did this post on the topic "RUN!!" where i mentioned the need to have boundaries. So today i'll just be doing a little exposition on the need for boundries, creating and adjusting our boundaries, as well as our boundaries and our relationship with others. First what is a boundary? A boundary can be defined as a limit above which is trespassing, by this i mean is simply a limit to which something can be done, also a boundry is also a way of seperating one place from another anywhere outside the boundary is a trespass, for instance a boarder of a country is a boundary of that country. Every one needs a boundary in their life, a life without boundary is one that moves without direction and that is a very risky point to be in life, a life without boundary takes in everything both the good and the sinful. If we'll be honest or are sensitive enough we'll admit that there are some conversations we get into and at a point things which are been said begin to affect us negativley (actually we need to realise that these conversation may not be sinful) however they have negative effects on us, if we don't identify our boundaries we'll contine such conversations and end up getting into trouble or falling into sin, there are things people do that mess with our emotions and a lot of other things however these things are not always sinful(tho they could be at times). In simple words the need for boundaries is all to guard our hearts and prevent ourselves from falling into problems. Something we also need to realise is our boundaries are usually limited to us and there is no perfect way of stoping others from trespassing, we also do not have to make them feel like sinners, for instance there is no polite way of saying "can you not do that? It makes me struggle with my thoughts" its a simple way of turning a conversation from simply netural to "totally weird" so in our relationship with others our boundaries will tend to be trespassed however we can simply divert attention or a discussion another way without making it seem all weird, and if we can't divert attention we can curteously exeat the discussion without making it seem all weird, also know that your boundaries might limit you from moving with certain people you'll naturally love to move with its one of the sacrifice we have to make for success and also for heaven, also having boundries don't make you less special or less than any one else, it only makes you different and our differences from others are not a reason to be weary or feel inferior our difference from others is simply God's finger print on us. Finally over time i've discovered that boundaries could change, hence once in a while there would be a need to revise our boundaries and adjust them as the case may be. Have a beautiful day, and i'm hoping after reading this one of you would figure and establish their oun boundaries. I love you all my dear readers and i'm praying for you all.
