Lord says to Honor them regardless how they are..

Me i had to set boundaries with my mom also i moved states away..

In order for me to honor them i cant be too close as in distance with them my mom mainly shes very high strung can he verbally nasty at times i must keep my cool.. actually since i moved states away this time our relationship as a mother and daughter has grown ive set my boundaries if she is too mean when she calls i tell her ma i cant do this right now im not in the right state of mind..i had to do that often at first but now it is a rare occasion..

Set boundaries and do your best to honor them.. that means doing what you need to do in order to deal with the situation.. personally i had to ask the Lord how to forgive my family

Greetings,

I think, too, that it depends a bit on how much we truly want to love. Does our flesh get in the way?

While we were yet sinners....
Who gave Himself for who...
and why?

Of grace we have received

Let us not deny the power thereof

If we are dead in our sins, it matters nothing.
If we are alive in Christ, it costs us nothing.


Bless you ....><>
