When you keep lowering the boundary to keep the connection

Biblical love is patient, truthful, and not self-seeking.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

When you keep lowering the boundary to keep the connection. This is the kind of moment that can expose what has really been running underneath. Not everything involved in this situation belongs in your hands. Stay responsible for your response without pretending you are responsible for everything. Caring about someone does not require ignoring what is true. Jesus Christ can keep your heart tender without making your judgment blind. Choose the next right action without trying to solve the entire outcome. Faithfulness has a boundary; let God remain God beyond it.

Where has anxiety convinced you that control is the same thing as wisdom? What belongs in God's hands instead?

Jesus Christ, I place the ending of this situation back in Your hands. Keep me surrendered where I have no authority and obedient where I do. Amen.
