Heathy Boundaries

(Jesus explaining a parable) Matthew 13: 38-39 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom.  The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil.  The harvest is the end of the age and the harvesters are angels. Matthew 13: 41-42 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.  They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I believe God wants us to love our enemies and to serve them.  I also believe in doing that we must be careful to put up healthy boundaries around ourselves and our family. 

These verse really bothered me today, in light of some horrific things in the news lately about people doing evil acts.  It seems to me that there are those that are satan’s children and the scripture says the weeds are sons of the devil.

God has the final judgment.  Until a person dies they have a chance to repent and enjoy eternal life.  But as a wife and mother I must be careful of who I let in my closest inner circle of friends.  We must protect ourselves from evil and protect the children who we are raising to be God’s children from the evil that is growing right beside us.

Please pray with me – Holy Righteous Father thank you for sending us Jesus and thank you for protecting us from the devil and his schemes.  We know you will have the final word.  We also know your kingdom has won the war already.  Please block satan and his angels away from us and our families.  Thanks Lord that we are on your team.  Go Jesus!  Amen!
