Everyone has his or her own life to live, uniquely as God designed it. You should maintain healthy boundaries and not intrude on other people’s lives either. Unless God has specifically instructed you to help another person, be cautious. We all have our purpose journeys. Pursue yours, and let others pursue theirs.

King Jehoshaphat, for instance, disobeyed God’s command that he should keep away from King Ahab’s battle, and if not for mercy, he would have been killed. While seeking people’s interests, also learn to maintain boundaries.

Meditation: 1 Thessalonians 4:11.
