Can you still have compassion with boundaries?

Published on 11 October 2022 at 11:44

Doesn't God want you to protect yourself from other people? Especially when they are "destroying" your inner God?

 

I heard the best thing once from a Christian therapist: There is a difference between imperfection and abuse.

 

Read that again.

 

We are all imperfect and we are all learning. So when we make a mistake, we can forgive others because they are learning just like us. 

 

But abuse is when we let them continually make that mistake and we think we are having "compassion" on them when we constantly let them do it to us. That's not compassion, that's endurance.

 

There is a difference.

 

With blessings,

Gia
