(NKJV)
34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.

Boundaries
If we are constantly frustrated with not having our own needs met then we are not a very good candidate for positive friendships.
We will become a taker instead of a giver.
Which = selfishness.

Learn How to Genuinely Care for Others
Wrong Beliefs:
“I wish I had a friend who gave me a feeling of belonging and made me feel significant.”
“I need a friend who will give me unconditional love without wanting to change me.”
Right Beliefs:
God is the only Friend whose love is always unconditional.
Because He loves me, He plans to change me … sometimes through my friends.
Instead of focusing on getting friendship, I will focus on giving it.
My joy and significance will be found in serving and befriending others as an extension of the Lord’s love.
“If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”
(John 15:10–12)

Boundaries
How do we have healthy, safe, and positive relationships?
Option 1 This person demonstrates: responsibility, self control, freedom, and love
Option 2: this person is irresponsible, manipulative, controlling of others, and out of control.
Which one would you rather be friends with?
What is the difference between these two people?
Boundaries!
Boundary = a rule or standard that you put in place for yourself.
It is an established limit—a line that should not be crossed.
Biblical Counseling Keys on Boundaries Title Page
We cannot be or do everything for anyone, much less everyone, so we must choose who we will be and what we will do regarding the individuals God brings into our lives.
Jesus established boundaries for His relationships by … prioritizing the Father … discipling the twelve … and being intimate with the few.
Personal boundaries convey:
— What you are
