00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.928
yeah, they're upset about it.
00:00:01.849 --> 00:00:02.830
But see, the thing is,
00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:04.391
when you ask for forgiveness,
00:00:04.411 --> 00:00:05.192
you've done your part.
00:00:06.077 --> 00:00:07.378
Now, if they hold it for a year,
00:00:08.238 --> 00:00:10.759
for a week, a year, that's on them.
00:00:11.159 --> 00:00:13.440
You know, you understand.
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:16.160
Now you recognize and you see a distance,
00:00:16.581 --> 00:00:17.561
but you've done your part
00:00:17.581 --> 00:00:19.322
and you've asked for forgiveness.
00:00:19.362 --> 00:00:21.822
You can't force them to forgive you.
00:00:22.403 --> 00:00:23.563
Just give them their time.
00:00:23.703 --> 00:00:24.663
Give them their space.
00:00:24.943 --> 00:00:25.744
Stay your distance.
00:00:26.304 --> 00:00:27.784
And let them be.
00:00:28.785 --> 00:00:29.285
Let them be.
00:00:29.605 --> 00:00:30.625
Did you do right by me?
00:00:30.645 --> 00:00:30.725
Yes.
00:00:34.005 --> 00:00:35.266
Personal boundaries.
00:00:35.526 --> 00:00:37.427
Now, the last thing, number five,
00:00:37.447 --> 00:00:38.928
if your boundaries are established,
00:00:39.348 --> 00:00:41.249
if boundaries are not established,
00:00:42.690 --> 00:00:43.350
that's personal.
00:00:43.370 --> 00:00:45.111
We're going to talk about personal now.
00:00:45.652 --> 00:00:46.652
If boundaries,
00:00:46.812 --> 00:00:48.914
personal boundaries are not established,
00:00:49.414 --> 00:00:50.314
if they're not established,
00:00:50.635 --> 00:00:52.676
proceed with caution.
00:00:53.797 --> 00:00:54.717
If you don't know the
00:00:54.777 --> 00:00:55.818
individual boundaries,
00:00:56.198 --> 00:00:57.239
these are personal boundaries.
00:00:57.499 --> 00:00:58.319
If you don't know the
00:00:58.379 --> 00:00:59.780
individual boundaries,
00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:00.821
if you don't know that
00:01:00.841 --> 00:01:01.861
they've set any of them,
00:01:02.301 --> 00:01:03.122
proceed with caution.
00:01:04.851 --> 00:01:07.393
So that's in the area of personal.
00:01:08.074 --> 00:01:10.016
So you are an individual.
00:01:10.456 --> 00:01:13.399
You created your healthy boundaries.
00:01:14.139 --> 00:01:14.380
Now,
00:01:14.940 --> 00:01:19.224
when you come across those that do not
00:01:19.284 --> 00:01:20.145
have boundaries,
00:01:21.266 --> 00:01:22.787
definitely proceed with caution.
00:01:23.007 --> 00:01:24.929
You don't know what you may be up against.
00:01:25.589 --> 00:01:27.031
If they just allow you to do
00:01:27.251 --> 00:01:28.372
anything and everything...
00:01:31.235 --> 00:01:33.257
There may be an issue there.
00:01:33.877 --> 00:01:35.698
They may not have any boundaries.
00:01:35.919 --> 00:01:36.479
Yeah.
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.921
Maybe swimming in uncharted waters.
00:01:40.142 --> 00:01:41.042
Swim at your own risk.
00:01:41.763 --> 00:01:43.484
Put it that way.
00:01:43.604 --> 00:01:46.707
Cross at your own demise or peril.
00:01:47.427 --> 00:01:47.928
It's on you.
00:01:48.108 --> 00:01:53.072
When we go to these personal
00:01:53.132 --> 00:01:57.695
boundaries that my husband
00:01:57.735 --> 00:01:58.716
was just talking about,
00:02:00.936 --> 00:02:02.797
it's very important that you
00:02:03.457 --> 00:02:05.378
have some have some
00:02:05.418 --> 00:02:07.119
boundaries set up some
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:08.500
boundaries in your life and
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:09.040
there's a difference
00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:10.121
between standards and
00:02:10.161 --> 00:02:11.442
boundaries standards you
00:02:11.462 --> 00:02:12.762
know you have standards but
00:02:12.903 --> 00:02:13.803
boundaries are different
00:02:13.863 --> 00:02:15.104
boundaries are things you
00:02:15.164 --> 00:02:17.205
intentionally set up around
00:02:17.245 --> 00:02:19.066
your life to keep you from
00:02:19.126 --> 00:02:21.087
doing or having done to you
00:02:21.407 --> 00:02:22.288
things that you don't want
00:02:22.328 --> 00:02:25.029
done so have some have some
00:02:25.069 --> 00:02:26.550
boundaries and set them up
00:02:27.210 --> 00:02:29.712
especially for you who are dating um
00:02:31.278 --> 00:02:32.679
in this day and age.
00:02:34.801 --> 00:02:36.202
Have some boundaries.
00:02:36.222 --> 00:02:36.842
Yes, Lord.
00:02:37.343 --> 00:02:38.403
Have some boundaries.
00:02:39.324 --> 00:02:41.726
Don't give in to the booty calls.
00:02:42.346 --> 00:02:44.208
That's so disrespectful.
00:02:44.888 --> 00:02:47.190
Just make sure that you have
00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:48.371
some boundaries.
00:02:48.811 --> 00:02:51.333
Some healthy boundaries.
00:02:51.653 --> 00:02:54.416
And demand that they respect them.
00:02:55.116 --> 00:02:56.817
Don't just allow anyone to
00:02:57.037 --> 00:02:58.959
run over you in a relationship.
00:02:59.881 --> 00:03:01.782
or outside of a relationship
00:03:02.002 --> 00:03:03.403
as a coworker or a friend,
00:03:03.923 --> 00:03:05.785
don't allow individuals to
00:03:05.885 --> 00:03:07.586
treat you any kind of way.
00:03:08.326 --> 00:03:10.187
Because if you don't have any boundaries,
00:03:11.088 --> 00:03:13.309
people are going to set them up for you.
00:03:14.110 --> 00:03:15.050
And you may not like the
00:03:15.090 --> 00:03:16.551
boundaries that people set up for you.
00:03:16.951 --> 00:03:18.032
So you've got to make a
00:03:18.072 --> 00:03:19.553
decision to have your own
00:03:19.613 --> 00:03:20.934
boundaries before you go
00:03:20.994 --> 00:03:22.154
into any relationship.
00:03:22.434 --> 00:03:26.477
And the second thing in the personal area,
00:03:27.297 --> 00:03:28.238
if you have boundaries,
00:03:29.048 --> 00:03:32.370
Share them with any potential friends,
00:03:32.990 --> 00:03:34.351
mates, or family.
00:03:35.251 --> 00:03:36.312
Share your boundaries with
00:03:36.332 --> 00:03:37.813
the people who you want to
00:03:37.833 --> 00:03:39.373
develop a relationship with.
00:03:40.034 --> 00:03:41.674
And it's a good way to find
00:03:41.754 --> 00:03:42.935
out if that person is going
00:03:42.955 --> 00:03:45.436
to be able to rock with you, as they say,
00:03:45.977 --> 00:03:47.217
or run with you or hang with you.
00:03:47.778 --> 00:03:48.978
If you share your boundaries
00:03:49.018 --> 00:03:50.059
with them and they respect
00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:51.359
them and they can handle them,
00:03:51.740 --> 00:03:52.980
you got a pretty good friend.
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:54.181
But if you share your
00:03:54.201 --> 00:03:55.722
boundaries with someone and they're like,
00:03:55.902 --> 00:03:57.082
oh, we don't need to do all that.
00:03:57.723 --> 00:03:58.663
You don't need that boundary.
00:03:59.147 --> 00:04:02.009
You can move on to the next one,
00:04:02.249 --> 00:04:05.050
on to the next one, on to the next one,
00:04:05.431 --> 00:04:06.651
until you get someone who's
00:04:06.671 --> 00:04:09.233
gonna respect your boundaries.
00:04:10.253 --> 00:04:11.494
Now, the third thing,
00:04:13.395 --> 00:04:17.217
don't move or alter your
00:04:17.277 --> 00:04:20.119
boundaries to fit in any one circle.
00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:23.441
In other words, they call it compromising.
00:04:24.249 --> 00:04:25.610
Don't compromise your boundaries.
00:04:25.630 --> 00:04:26.832
Don't compromise your standard.
00:04:26.892 --> 00:04:28.453
Don't compromise who you really are,
00:04:28.994 --> 00:04:31.296
how God made you, how he created you.
00:04:31.957 --> 00:04:33.799
Don't compromise that to fit
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.000
into someone else's
00:04:36.001 --> 00:04:37.703
preconceived boundaries or
00:04:37.803 --> 00:04:39.885
set up boundaries that
00:04:40.065 --> 00:04:42.307
they've set up that you're
00:04:42.387 --> 00:04:45.631
not even accustomed to or
00:04:46.311 --> 00:04:47.152
you don't even like them.
00:04:48.376 --> 00:04:50.097
You don't like them or their boundaries,
00:04:50.937 --> 00:04:52.478
but you try to adjust to
00:04:52.518 --> 00:04:53.359
fit into that circle.
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:54.179
Don't do that.
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:55.200
It's not healthy.
00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:56.720
No, not healthy at all.
00:04:58.081 --> 00:05:01.683
Fitting into that clique that, you know,
00:05:02.163 --> 00:05:03.664
you don't really agree with
00:05:04.364 --> 00:05:05.045
what they're doing,
00:05:05.065 --> 00:05:07.586
but you just want to be, have friends.
00:05:08.667 --> 00:05:10.328
You just want to be close to them.
00:05:10.928 --> 00:05:12.709
And then you end up in jail
00:05:12.749 --> 00:05:13.489
somewhere because, you know.
00:05:15.690 --> 00:05:15.970
Dang.
00:05:15.990 --> 00:05:16.191
Yeah.
00:05:20.290 --> 00:05:22.172
we're in jail.
00:05:22.672 --> 00:05:23.973
It can happen that way.
00:05:24.073 --> 00:05:25.874
You're in the wrong place at
00:05:25.894 --> 00:05:27.776
the wrong time and ain't
00:05:27.796 --> 00:05:29.037
got no boundaries set up.
00:05:29.898 --> 00:05:30.618
Now you're in jail.
00:05:30.658 --> 00:05:31.159
Hello.
00:05:31.559 --> 00:05:35.082
But recognize that you are
00:05:36.603 --> 00:05:38.204
beautifully and wonderfully
00:05:38.284 --> 00:05:40.126
made in the image of God.
00:05:40.186 --> 00:05:41.667
You don't have to change for
00:05:41.847 --> 00:05:44.149
anyone or any relationship.
00:05:44.509 --> 00:05:45.029
Be you.
00:05:46.611 --> 00:05:48.872
Enjoy life the way God
00:05:49.955 --> 00:05:52.076
created you to enjoy life.
00:05:53.516 --> 00:05:54.677
Don't try to fit into
00:05:54.757 --> 00:05:56.777
cliques and circles that
00:05:57.638 --> 00:05:58.438
don't agree with the
00:05:58.478 --> 00:06:00.038
boundaries that God has
00:06:00.078 --> 00:06:01.679
given you for your life.
00:06:02.539 --> 00:06:03.980
And then when you do that,
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.280
he'll send the individuals
00:06:06.801 --> 00:06:07.601
that need to be
00:06:08.698 --> 00:06:10.099
in your life and that will
00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:11.119
respect your boundaries.
00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:12.520
So again,
00:06:12.900 --> 00:06:14.901
we have thoroughly enjoyed this
00:06:14.961 --> 00:06:16.081
opportunity to come before
00:06:16.121 --> 00:06:16.922
you and talk about
00:06:17.482 --> 00:06:19.243
establishing healthy boundaries.
00:06:19.263 --> 00:06:20.709
Stay tuned
