“Do not take advantage of each other...” (Leviticus 25:17 NIV)
Patients who need frequent IV medications often have a ‘port’ placed under their skin. A small silicone container is attached to a catheter tube. This portal allows healthcare providers to easily access major veins with low risk of infection. Chemotherapy patients and others who need long-term intravenous treatments have ports surgically inserted into their chests. Proper care and hygiene of the port is essential. Thus, access to it must be guarded.
We all have similar portals into our minds. These invisible access points to our souls must be protected. Do not allow anyone to inject you with harmful poisons such as shame, disrespect, lies, or humiliation. Not every person who tries to influence you is honorable and selfless. Guard your hearts and minds. Do not take advantage of others or acquiesce to exploitation.
