Boundaries are set by what we are comfortable with and what makes us feel loved. We set our own boundaries. Boundaries define who we are and not who other people want us to be. Only we can define our own boundaries.

We all have a deep need for love and belonging. Relationships fulfill these needs. In order for love to last and feel true belonging, it requires trust.

What is godly love? How does God find pleasure in sinners and abhor evil? Is God’s love unconditional?

Love is finding pleasure in something. God gives us free will to find pleasure in things and the choices we make are based on what will bring us pleasure. What do you choose? What brings you pleasure?

There are no longer consequences of our sin with God. No amount of sin can cause you to lose God’s grace. You might lose friends or you might lose respect and integrity but you will never lose your place with God. Losing friends and integrity can be pretty devastating.

If God isn’t blessing us physically today, maybe we should be blessing each other.

Why I’ve decided not to pray for miracles anymore. How can I say this? Why would I say this?

Does God reward good behavior? Becoming a Christian doesn’t fix the consequences in our life and it also doesn’t give us a recipe for rewards or blessings.

God is not asking you to clean up your life. Perfection is not the goal. Pretending to be sinless will not save you. Grace saves you. Grace teaches us love.

Becoming a Christian does not protect you from pain and suffering. You will still suffer pain in this world but we can know something that will give us peace. God’s grace is sufficient to comfort us during suffering.
