To get the most meaningful experience out of any relationship, we must respect boundaries and acknowledge the most obvious. Boundaries are what keep us in balance, as well as in bounds. Boundaries are the key to good relationships. Boundaries are the key to good stewardship and a productive life. In a real sense, boundaries define us. They define what is me and what is not me. Boundaries show us what we are responsible for and what we are not responsible for. Boundaries help us keep the good in our lives and the bad out of our lives. God is a God of boundaries. In the very beginning, he gave boundaries to Adam and Eve. The tree of 'the knowledge of good and evil' was a boundary. Setting and respecting boundaries enables us to blossom meaningfully. Don't take any relationship for granted.
