There's a such thing as being too nice... too giving... too conscious of what other people need.
Where does the line get drawn, between Calling and Doormat?
I'm Called to work with Autistic children. That doesn't mean I'm meant to let people walk all over me.
It's the same thing with my personal life. It's become very important to me now that I keep myself free of distractions or confusions... I have to stop worrying about people. God will look after them. I have to give myself permission to only remain close to people who have a positive influence on me and a positive impact on my life. God will provide me with those people and will provide the ones I 'cut loose' with new "close friends".
Just as I need a real social life (that new discovery I made last week), I need to be respected by those with whom I spend time - and those on whom I spend time.
