Ally, I liked what you said about boundaries.
I agree that boundaries can be good as long as they are in line with God's commands and will for us.
We shouldn't feel that we should be everything to everybody all the time…
and clearly, if someone is taking advantage of us, and is lazy, that is a problem that they might need pointed out…in love…
HOWEVER on the other side of the token, we need to be obeying God if He puts someone on our heart to help,
the Bible says even to give to our enemies…
Romans 12:20 On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

So we need to be careful in our boundaries because sometimes God might not want us to have boundaries, may we just stay close to Jesus and abide in Him and He will guide us.

God did set boundaries with things in nature, like the ocean.

This is a very delicate topic…

May we just be abiding in Jesus daily and Renewed in Him and may HE put HIS desires on our hearts.

Matthew 5:40-42
40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
