#billygraham #christianmotivation #faithoverfear #spiritualgrowth #forgiveness #godwillfightforyou #trustgod π₯ If You Want to Be Respected, Stop Being Kind to Everyone In this thought-provoking video, we explore the concept of kindness and how it intersects with wisdom. While kindness is a valuable virtue, itβs important to remember that without wisdom, it can be exploited, leading to exhaustion, manipulation, and straying from Godβs 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 Godβs 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 Godβs truth. β° *Timestamps:* (00:03) Introduction to Kindness and Wisdom π (00:41) The Dangers of Naive Kindness β (01:20) Jesus: The Model of Kindness with Wisdom π (01:52) Jesus' Boundaries with Those Who Took Advantage β (02:33) The Importance of Discernment in Kindness π (03:11) Setting Boundaries with Love π (03:48) The Rich Young Ruler and Jesus' Response π° (04:23) Jesus Rebukes Peter: An Example of Setting Boundaries π (05:00) The Role of Boundaries in Loving Wisely π‘ (05:36) Jesus Speaks Truth Without Fear of Rejection π£οΈ (06:13) Jesus Confronts the Pharisees π₯ (06:53) Christians Must Stand for Truth Despite Opposition βοΈ (07:29) The Dangers of People-Pleasing π«£ (08:06) Judas: A Warning Against False Friends π€₯ (08:42) Using Kindness Wisely to Avoid Exploitation β οΈ (09:17) Living to Please God, Not People π (09:54) The Bible Warns Against the Fear of Man π (10:30) Jesus Confronts the Phariseesβ Hypocrisy ποΈ (11:06) The Trap of Pleasing People β (11:45) True Kindness Requires Discernment πͺ (12:21) Jesus' Mercy Calls for Change π (12:59) Loving With Boundaries and Wisdom β€οΈ (13:32) Love, Wisdom, and True Transformation π (14:08) Being Shrewd Like Serpents and Innocent Like Doves πποΈ (14:46) Treating Judas With Love Despite Betrayal π (15:21) The Importance of Boundaries to Protect Your Spirit π§ββοΈ (15:58) Jesusβ Clear Boundaries and Healthy Limits π§ (16:34) The Dangers of Seeking Approval from People π§βπ€βπ§ (17:12) Prioritizing Obedience to God Over Human Approval βοΈ (17:46) Godβs Approval is Eternal, Human Approval is Fleeting β³ (18:23) Balancing Kindness and Wisdom with Discernment π (19:04) Kindness Without Limits Creates Dependency β (19:41) Setting Boundaries to Protect Yourself πͺ (20:22) How to Balance Kindness, Wisdom, and God's Will ποΈ π *Hashtags:* #Kindness #Wisdom #Boundaries #Discernment #JesusTeaching #LoveAndWisdom #ChristianLife #JesusChrist #GodsTruth #CompassionWithDiscernment #SpiritualGrowth #GodsWill #BiblicalTeachings π *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 π· *Tags:* Christianity, Christian Wisdom, Bible Study, Setting Boundaries, Wisdom and Kindness, Jesus' Teachings, Spiritual Strength, Discerning Love, Not a Doormat, Godβs Truth, Christian Boundaries, Jesus and Compassion, Healthy Boundaries in Faith, Avoiding Manipulation, Bible Truth, Christian Life
