Our Character: Strength Through Boundaries
Gina’s character was tested by her pain. She had always been strong for others, but inside, she felt weak and overwhelmed. The lack of boundaries with her abuser eroded her sense of self-worth and left her feeling powerless. I shared with Gina that true strength comes not from enduring harm but from setting limits and honoring oneself. Character is built when we choose to protect our hearts and minds, even when it’s difficult. Gina needed to see that setting boundaries was not selfish but necessary for her growth and healing. By standing up for herself, she began to rebuild her confidence and reclaim her identity. She learned that forgiveness does not mean allowing abuse to continue. Instead, it means choosing to protect herself and her family. Gina’s journey reminds us that character is shaped by the choices we make in the face of pain. With God’s help, we can find the courage to set boundaries and grow stronger through our struggles. Her story inspires us to honor our worth and trust God to guide us as we build a character rooted in love, strength, and grace.
