There's Power in Our Words

Did you know that there's power in what we say? The Bible tells us that we have power in our words when we speak life or death. The meaning of speaking life is when our words are uplifting and encouraging. When we speak death, that is like saying I'm not enough or saying something that hurts someone else.

Boundaries

An emotional boundary isn’t set in place to keep the other person “in line” or behaving in a prescribed manner; rather, the boundary is me giving myself permission to not give another access to my soul.

Loving Those Who Hurt You

Love is the unconditional commitment to the well-being of others. It is a gift from God and He has given us the perfect picture of love through the sacrifice of His Son. God’s grace is a result of His love for us. We are called to love one another regardless of our differences or if we feel we have been wronged. We are called to commit ourselves to loving others. This is a hard concept to comprehend sometimes. It’s easy to say that I love people, but when it comes to those who have hurt me, it can be so hard.
