REFLECTING GOD’S MERCY WHILE MAINTAINING BOUNDARIES

Luke 6:31 New King James Version
31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY PRECIOUS ONES!!!
I happen to really find this morning’s passage of scripture really interesting, because it speaks to something that I think has been twisted and distorted for quite some time, and that is the old standard of “Do unto others as you would have done unto you.” I see some clear things that Jesus talk about how we are to treat those who show hatred to us, and I believe those things are very important, but I also believe that we have a right to maintain our boundaries against those who have harmed us, so that they can't repeat their sins against us. I think that's why the questions from this morning's devotional, are really deeply challenging my heart, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will challenge your heart through them too.

Why is it vital to treat others the way you’d like to be treated?

How can Jesus help you?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God has shown me not just from this morning's passage of scripture, but from other precious verses from His Word, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you challenges and encourages you to want to be a reflection of God's mercy. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends, and learn how to show mercy while maintaining your boundaries! 😊

So, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to repeat something that I shared a while back, because I think it's important, and i pray that you'll not only read it but act on it. First off, I pray that you will ask God every day to show you ways in which you can be a reflection of HIs mercy to all that you encounter, even those who treat you with scorn and disdain. I also offer this hope for anyone out there who has been wounded, hurt, and betrayed, to anyone that was sexually violated as a child, and/or violated by a so-called man of God, I want you to know that you are not at fault, and that what was done to you was wrong! Don't be afraid to not only set healthy and effective boundaries against the one that has wronged you, but also to seek real justice, even if it means that others shun you for holding the criminal accountable for their actions. Remember that forgiveness is not based on any type of ‘forgetfulness’, or the minimalization of another person's pain, but on the willingness to expose the truth of what happened, so that person can truly heal. Above all I pray that you will look to the One who suffered the ultimate in humiliation, shame, and agony, to set you free from sin, and that you hand the hurt of your past over to Him!

UNTIL MONDAY:

HAVE A VERY SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
