Day 15 – Healthy Boundaries: I Have the Right

Day 15 – Healthy Boundaries: I Have the Right

Dear Friends,

Hope is built on boundaries. Today we pause to say it out loud: I have the right. When we claim our God-given rights—to be loved, to be respected, to live free from harm—we begin to step into the fullness of who we are.

So many of us spend years trying to win the approval of others, molding ourselves into something smaller just to be accepted. But God never asked us to shrink. His Word calls us to live with dignity, to walk in self-control, and to reflect His light in every space we enter.

Song of the Day

🎵 Who Am I — Casting Crowns

This song reminds us that our worth is not in what others say, but in what God says: “I am Yours.”

Reflection

Today, I declare:

  • I have the right to start a new career.

  • I have the right to be free of depression.

  • I have the right to believe I am enough.

  • I have the right to be happy.

  • I will leave abusive relationships.

  • I will stop toxic cycles in my life.

  • I have the right to set a healthy boundary.

  • I have the right to speak up!

God’s Word gives us permission to stop living for human approval and start living for His purpose. Boundaries are not walls; they are sacred guardrails that keep us safe and whole.

Hope Goals

  • Goals: Embrace your rights and declare them boldly.

  • Pathways: Stand in your power today and say your rights aloud.

  • My Next Step Is: Stop reaching out to toxic relationships. Create a “no-call list” of unhealthy people and focus only on healthy, self-love behaviors.

Scripture of the Day

Titus 2:1–15 (NIV)

1 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.
2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children,
5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.
7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness
8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,
10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.

Hope Goals in Action – Living the Word

Titus 2 gives us a blueprint for how to live with boundaries and hope every day.

  1. Practice Self-Control – Pause before reacting to stress. Choose calm words at home and professional poise at work.

  2. Model Integrity – Let your actions match your words. Follow through on promises, big and small.

  3. Respect Boundaries – Say “no” to what drains you or pulls you away from God’s purpose. Guard your time and energy wisely.

  4. Anchor in Hope – Keep your focus on God’s promises. Let the “blessed hope” remind you your future is safe in His hands.

Self-Reflection Prompt:

  • What RIGHT do you want or need right now?

  • How can declaring your rights strengthen your boundaries?

  • What is one boundary you will honor today?

My answer: To be happy. I will focus on my life, my goals, and healthy self-love behaviors.
