God's Love draws boundaries

I spoke to my middle bonus baby over the weekend about setting boundaries for herself. It got me thinking about when did I learn to set boundaries for myself. If I am honest it probably wasn't until the last couple of years. I began to think why? I knew long before these last few years people where treating me less than I deserved.

I realized my relationship with God began to grow and get stronger. I began to seek the only unconditional love I had ever knew. I started changing my self esteem. The things that had previously bothered me, but I brushed off as they did not mean it or did not know better. Now was unavoidable. It began to feel like I was getting spit on. How dare they feel comfortable treating me this way. Not because I was better than anyone else but I knew for sure I showed up differently. I cared deeply, showed up when I was needed, and went beyond what I had to make sure they knew they were heard. I wanted them to see my worth. They couldn't, but the reason I was hurting was my fault. I was trying to prove myself to people that were not healed from their own pain. They were taking what they needed and had no reservior to pour from.

God showed me this, so I wouldn't sit in anger. I just now needed to create boundaries. I can not pour from an empty cup. I needed to pour from my overflow. That choice shifted everything in my life. For a while I felt alone, but then I realized how productive my life began to be. I was able to hear God daily. God kept pouring into me, loving on me, and partnering with me in grace for things I did not know. I got married, began to see the reason for partnership, began to love differently, healed something new, wrote a book, self published it, created an audio book, created a website, wrote a business plan all with the leading of God.

God's love made set boundaries with my flesh. Things I never thought I could do. God showed me my flesh couldn't but the spirit he put in me could. I never felt so sure of myself. God is now cleaning out my body on a 30 day raw cleanse. My mind, body, and spirit is clearer than it has ever been. God showed me yesterday to not let anyone treat me less than I deserve. I am God's Heir and need to start carrying myself as such. Walk in my authority I am plugged into the most powerful source ever known. God loves, covers me in grace, leads, teaches, guides, and nurtures me. Who can stop me.
