Barriers vs Boundaries

Barriers have height. They keep people away.
boundaries are lines on a map. They lie flat, and may be stepped on or over.

barriers are designed so that they don't require guarding. They are impenetrable.
boundaries must be posted. Some may enter. Others may visit. Others are turned away.

barriers create isolation.
boundaries create sovereignty; safety; serenity.

i must tear down my barriers.
i must monitor my boundaries.

"He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars." Job 9:7

if god were fair, we would never be allowed in his presents. this should be the starting point when i consider what i deserve.

Yes; We do often mix and match boundaries and barriers to suit the situation. Both can be healthy or unhealthy depending on the motive. Many times we find ourselves putting up barriers before there is a firm foundation to set them on so they sink or crumble under the pressure Then we throw the boundaries out to say you can't cross this line it is not safe right now. My question is this. We have a construction engineer in Christ, so why do we keep him out so often with one or the other rather then just letting down those boundaries and barriers and surrendering to him.

Great words once again.
See you soon.
