Boundaries
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” —Mark 12:33
Do you need a reset on boundaries with certain people in your life?
Hitting reset on boundaries requires guts and patience. It requires patience because while there are those rare times when the dynamics of a relationship simply become too toxic to maintain, the ideal goal of 'resetting boundaries' is to preserve relationships while protecting yourself.
Jesus protected His 'self' by setting healthy boundaries. He even set boundaries with his family (see Mark 3:31-32).
Boundaries produce a mentally healthy faith.
Dr. Henry Cloud, founder of Boundaries.me, is helpful when he writes: "A mentally healthy faith stems from a connection to God that provides attachment, meaning, and empowerment to live well. This type of faith is grounded in dependence on God, not independence. It involves surrendering control to God instead of grasping for it ourselves." Furthermore, a mentally healthy faith "also flows out of vital relationships within the body of Christ."
In other words, at the foundation of a mentally healthy faith is a genuine, ongoing connection to Christ and Christ's Church.
Sunday worship services, life groups, ministry teams, and recovery programs all work together to help provide you with a sacred space to remain connected to Christ and connected to His Church.
