Let's Heal Together!

You know exactly who you are. You’re the dependable one. The go-to. The “you got this” friend. The one who holds it all together when everyone else is coming unglued. You pray for people when they’re falling apart — and then go cry in your car afterward because you can’t even remember the last time someone asked you if you were okay.

It’s easy to become emotionally unavailable and call it “self-awareness.” It’s easy to detach and call it “discernment.” But God doesn’t heal you so you can become colder — He heals you so you can love better.

Jesus laid down His life, but He didn’t lay down His boundaries. He said “no” to things that didn’t align with His Father’s will—without apology, without lengthy explanations, and without a guilt trip on Himself afterward.

People who benefitted from your lack of boundaries will absolutely be offended when you start building them. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong—it often means you’re growing.
