Healthy Boundaries: A Mature Love (Skill 4)

Forgiving and loving our enemies—giving our best to both believers and betrayers—does not equate with being weak, a push-over or someone else’s physical, emotional or spiritual punching bag. Loving your enemy, in a mature way, takes courage and does not mean you acquiesce to their every desire. No, mature love takes tremendous intentionality and courage to not perceive others through the eyes of “selective-sight” or “selective-sight in-reverse.” It takes courage and spiritual smarts to see someone’s strengths and weaknesses and love them accordingly.
