Real life • God’s word

Boundaries.

A grounded place to begin

How do I set a boundary without feeling selfish or unloving?

A useful boundary is specific about what you will do, what you will not do, and what happens if the pattern continues. It is not a tool for controlling another person.

Try this today: Turn one vague frustration into a clear sentence: “If this happens, I will…” and choose a consequence you can actually carry out.
