While kindness is a valuable virtue, it’s important to remember that without wisdom, it can be exploited, leading to exhaustion, manipulation, and straying from God’s purpose. By reflecting on the teachings of Jesus, we see how true kindness is not about being a doormat or pleasing others unconditionally. Instead, kindness must be balanced with discernment and boundaries to protect ourselves and remain aligned with God’s will. In this video, we dive deep into the Biblical principles of loving with wisdom, setting healthy boundaries, and understanding when to say no. Join us as we learn how to navigate the world with love, while staying vigilant against exploitation and remaining faithful to God’s truth. ⏰ *Timestamps:* (00:03) Introduction to Kindness and Wisdom 🌟 (00:41) The Dangers of Naive Kindness ❗ (01:20) Jesus: The Model of Kindness with Wisdom πŸ™ (01:52) Jesus' Boundaries with Those Who Took Advantage βœ‹ (02:33) The Importance of Discernment in Kindness πŸ” (03:11) Setting Boundaries with Love πŸ’– (03:48) The Rich Young Ruler and Jesus' Response πŸ’° (04:23) Jesus Rebukes Peter: An Example of Setting Boundaries πŸ›‘ (05:00) The Role of Boundaries in Loving Wisely πŸ’‘ (05:36) Jesus Speaks Truth Without Fear of Rejection πŸ—£οΈ (06:13) Jesus Confronts the Pharisees πŸ’₯ (06:53) Christians Must Stand for Truth Despite Opposition βš–οΈ (07:29) The Dangers of People-Pleasing 🫣 (08:06) Judas: A Warning Against False Friends πŸ€₯ (08:42) Using Kindness Wisely to Avoid Exploitation ⚠️ (09:17) Living to Please God, Not People πŸ™Œ (09:54) The Bible Warns Against the Fear of Man πŸ‘€ (10:30) Jesus Confronts the Pharisees’ Hypocrisy πŸ•ŠοΈ (11:06) The Trap of Pleasing People ❌ (11:45) True Kindness Requires Discernment πŸ’ͺ (12:21) Jesus' Mercy Calls for Change πŸ™Œ (12:59) Loving With Boundaries and Wisdom ❀️ (13:32) Love, Wisdom, and True Transformation πŸ”„ (14:08) Being Shrewd Like Serpents and Innocent Like Doves πŸπŸ•ŠοΈ (14:46) Treating Judas With Love Despite Betrayal πŸ’” (15:21) The Importance of Boundaries to Protect Your Spirit πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ (15:58) Jesus’ Clear Boundaries and Healthy Limits 🚧 (16:34) The Dangers of Seeking Approval from People πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘ (17:12) Prioritizing Obedience to God Over Human Approval ✝️ (17:46) God’s Approval is Eternal, Human Approval is Fleeting ⏳ (18:23) Balancing Kindness and Wisdom with Discernment πŸ”„ (19:04) Kindness Without Limits Creates Dependency ❌ (19:41) Setting Boundaries to Protect Yourself πŸ’ͺ (20:22) How to Balance Kindness, Wisdom, and God's Will πŸ•ŠοΈ πŸ”Ž *Hashtags:* #Kindness #Wisdom #Boundaries #Discernment #JesusTeaching #LoveAndWisdom #ChristianLife #JesusChrist #GodsTruth #CompassionWithDiscernment #SpiritualGrowth #GodsWill #BiblicalTeachings πŸ”‘ *Keywords:* kindness, wisdom, boundaries, Jesus Christ, discernment, love, Bible teachings, compassion, Jesus' example, spiritual growth, Christian faith, godly wisdom, healthy boundaries, not a people-pleaser, Christian living 🏷 *Tags:* Christianity, Christian Wisdom, Bible Study, Setting Boundaries, Wisdom and Kindness, Jesus' Teachings, Spiritual Strength, Discerning Love, Not a Doormat, God’s Truth, Christian Boundaries, Jesus and Compassion, Healthy Boundaries in Faith, Avoiding Manipulation, Bible Truth, Christian Life
