Kindness With Honest Boundaries
3 min read · Forgiveness
Ephesians 4:32
And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Paul joins kindness, tenderness, and forgiveness. None of them requires pretending harm did not happen or remaining where you are unsafe. Christian forgiveness releases revenge to God and can coexist with truth, accountability, and wise distance. Today, consider one small way to refuse bitterness without excusing what was wrong. Kindness can begin inside your own guarded heart.
Today’s prayer
Merciful God, soften what resentment has hardened in me. Give me wisdom for healthy boundaries and grace to seek peace without denying truth. Amen.
