Sherry walked us through her experience and also points us to Scripture (like the Good Samaritan) to help us answer this question. We also talk about boundaries, why they are important and how Sherry has grown in her ability to establish boundaries. This is a difficult passage. We talk about how to walk these truths out – and to what extent. We talk about what it means to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven in perfect. What does the word “perfect” mean – and where do we ultimately find the ability to be “perfect”?   Resources mentioned in the podcast God Meant it For Good, RT Kendall Boundaries, Henry Cloud and John Townsend No More Christian Nice Girl, Paul Coughlin and Jennifer D.

Pray for those who persecute you! 45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. 46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. 47 If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. 48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
