Guarding Your Heart: Understanding the Power of Personal Boundaries | Dr. Henry Cloud

Dr. Cloud discusses the importance of maintaining personal boundaries, comparing them to fences that safeguard our "property"—our heart, mind, soul, and body. He identifies signs that may indicate the need for stronger boundaries, such as feeling violated or overwhelmed by others. Dr. Cloud underscores the importance of protecting our inner lives, which include our emotions, attitudes, behaviors, choices, values, and thoughts. He encourages viewers to assess these areas to determine if their boundaries need strengthening. Additionally, Dr. Cloud addresses the physical aspect of boundaries, reminding viewers to maintain their health through regular check-ups. He concludes by referencing a biblical passage about not casting pearls before swine, highlighting the need to protect our valuable aspects from those who might disrespect them.

Have a difficult time to trust; never felt like I belonged; tired of going to the past; I do know only by God’s grace I still am here; needed to hear that verse from His word that said don’t cast your pearls to the swines; thank you your Godly wisdom; feel like I ‘m the mess that is becoming a message🙏🤗

Soooo true!!! But it's so hard being a true Christian and cutting people ie swine out. Thank you needed to re hear that verse!!! For a true Christian all I know how to do is love and forgive and sacrifice. But satan uses the swine ie people against the very word of our Lord JESUS! The more I stay connected to His word and follow teachers of Christ I am reminded that satan uses those swine to hurt us. Thank you Henry 💙

I have been helping my 40 year old son, who has struggled with poor decisions and poor relationships for 20 years. He is a hard-working man but unreliable in every other way. It's so hard to cut him off. I know it's what i should do, and I will do it. It does feel as if im giving up on him. It's so hard on my heart. I love the advice you are providing. Thank you.
