6 Ways to Guard Your Heart from Manipulative People
Not every person is safe. We must use wisdom when choosing and navigating the people in our lives. Unfortunately, it's not easy to find ways to be loving and maintain healthy boundaries when people we interact with and often love are manipulative.Luke 6:31 says, "And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them."We must keep this in mind as we interact with others. We aren't to exact revenge, we are to let go of judgment and show others the kindness that we are looking for. Yet, healthy boundaries are a part of God's love.Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life."God wants us to guard our hearts so that they remain a source of his life for others. Thankfully, His Word guides us to keep our hearts safe when encountering unsafe people.PHoto credit: ©SWN Design via Canva Pro
