Love and Patience
Christ indicates that love should be infinitely patient. But are there times when unconditional loving is not the right answer?
Sometimes it could be that loving (even when it doesn't seem right) is the right thing to do, but I suppose that isn't always true. Sometimes the loving thing is to stop enabling and start the tough love. It just seems that the experiences I've had with "tough love" are 10% love, 40% self-interest, and 50% bullsh*t. I guess it's all about how you go about loving someone.
How do you help someone you love get the help you think they need?
