Boundaries

Day 32 of 35  – Soul Detox

Matthew 16:21-28

Devotional

Matthew 16 shows us that one way to manage toxic relationships is to set healthy boundaries in the way Jesus did with Peter. You might need to tell that person that you won’t let them talk to you or treat you in a toxic way, or you may simply need to tell them that you are just not going to go to a toxic place in your relationship with them.
What types of healthy boundaries do you need establish in your relationships? How will you go about setting those boundaries?

My Momma would say we were not to hear a sermon with a pitch fork. And then she explained – hearing a message and rather than assimilating the message for what it means to ME, pitch over – apply it to someone else. 

27 For the Son of Man will come in his Father’s glory, with his angels; and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct.

via Matthew 16:21-28 CJB;NIV – From that time on, Yeshua began making – Bible Gateway.

EVERYONE.

Everyone includes YOU and ME.

The boundaries I set determine MY CONDUCT. And it is my conduct, if I am wise, that is my concern; for it is my conduct for which I will be repaid or rewarded.

Not many days remain with our Soul Detox study. Let us do some serious meditating as to changes in attitude, words and actions we must make.

ABBA, my mind is weary at times with choices and so often I have looked at the choices of others; seeing the boundaries they do not draw and I have been filled with emotions about it – some not healthy. Thank You for bringing this to my attention. I pray for a meditating heart; to meditate upon the boundaries I must draw in order to make right decisions and do the most good while I am here.
HOLY SPIRIT, guide us in prayer for the good of Others. The boundaries that must be drawn for holy, healthy, happy living. You know the faces I see – You see them too. Thank You again for this study; I pray it does its perfect work in me and every soul reading. And, ABBA, for every person who comes here to read and perhaps pray, I pray for them to be encouraged, inspired and, yes, even corrected as YOU will. I pray they will find You faithful in their trials of need, sickness, disease, lack, troubles and decisions of every kind. Thank You, YESHUA, for giving us Your LIFE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Amen and amen.

It is Friday afternoon – Mother’s Day weekend – and I am thinking of you all; wishing for you a weekend  of peace.

Mother’s Day weekends offer challenges when Mommas are not here to share the day with you.

I am missing mine. I miss her smile. And yet on the screen of my mind I still see that mischievous grin. I miss the vegetable beef soup she would make for me when I was sick. I miss my head in her lap for comfort. And those memories – I choose for them to comfort me and they do.

This is Momma and Daddy before I was born. Perhaps I am prejudice but I think they are more than beautiful! It’s been a very long time since I have seen Daddy. He went to heaven when I was 16; but I will see him again. And January 31, 2009, Momma joined him. I think they are smiling like that again. They were each others’ love of life.

One more picture and I’ll wrap this up. It’s Momma in 2007.

Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise),
3 so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.
via Ephesians 6:1-3 NASB – Family Relationships – Children, obey – Bible Gateway.

Proverbs 4:2-4 The Message (MSG)
1-2 Listen, friends, to some fatherly advice; sit up and take notice so you’ll know how to live.
I’m giving you good counsel;
don’t let it go in one ear and out the other.
3-9 When I was a boy at my father’s knee,
the pride and joy of my mother,
He would sit me down and drill me:
“Take this to heart. Do what I tell you—live!
Sell everything and buy Wisdom! Forage for Understanding!
Don’t forget one word! Don’t deviate an inch!
Never walk away from Wisdom—she guards your life;
love her—she keeps her eye on you.
Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom!
Write this at the top of your list: Get Understanding!
Throw your arms around her—believe me, you won’t regret it;
never let her go—she’ll make your life glorious.
She’ll garland your life with grace,
she’ll festoon your days with beauty.”
via Proverbs 4:2-4 MSG – Your Life Is at Stake – Listen, – Bible Gateway.

Thank You, ABBA, for placing me with just the parents You did. Thank You for the years we had together and for eternity that is yet to be. And I pray for each one who comes here to read and to pray, for those whose Mother is absent I pray for peace and comfort and for those yet privileged to have her with them I pray for wisdom and discernment to redeem the time. We are continuing to remember many, asking You to heal our sick and afflicted and to rescue the rebellious. You know the matters on each heart represented here; thank You for the good and gracious acts You do on our behalf, ABBA, in JESUS name.  Amen and      . 

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,

Giving Thanks

Day 24 — Daughters

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.

I am thankful for daughters who have learned well. Daughters who have committed themselves to JESUS so much so that now when their mother has a flesh fit, they know just what to say. Daughters who love The WORD and who can and do quote it back to their Momma. GOD IS SO GOOD!!

Happy Thanksgiving, dear IDOKs!!
