Tough Love is a term many have different view of. Since this is
Miscellaneous I have no problem with sharing ~ Tough love is
when we have had to seek God for direction when we were not
certain we were doing the right thing. Tough Love is allowing the
one who chooses to live life contrary to what is moral, go their
own way. Tough love is harder on the parent or person who has
to let go and let God. Things don't always work the way we want,
so who can guide us best, than God ?
When I questioned God about this subject regarding if we did the
right thing by our adult daughter, it took a while before He answered
me. He spoke to my spirit and said "Had we tried to bring her into
our home, she would not have learned to lean upon Him." He showed
me she would have been dependent upon us and it was not His will.
I knew it was true of God because of her relationship she had with
Him. She never asked to come home, but she was always welcomed
and she was a loving and appreciative daughter.
Do I have regrets? Of course. Do I feel I could have changed her?
No. She was an adult and I praise God He did take care of her until
it was time for her to leave this earth.
