Jesus was full of love… and he still said “no.”
Most people are surprised when I show them examples from the Bible of Jesus setting boundaries and practicing personal soul care. (It’s no wonder we overdo, get worn out, and even burnout!)
This understanding was surprising for me too. It’s something I wasn’t taught in church.
But I looked prayerfully at the life of Jesus in the Gospels and discovered that Jesus set boundaries repeatedly!
Yes, Jesus loved people deeply. He gave his time, his energy, his whole life.
But he also knew that love without limits leads to burnout. Compassion without boundaries becomes enabling. And helping without wisdom can hurt.
Jesus shows us that setting boundaries isn’t selfish. It’s a way to stay healthy, love people well, and stay faithful to God’s calling.
You don’t have to choose between being loving and being healthy. Jesus shows us how to be both.
Let’s follow his example 🙌
