Tough Love


Some random thoughts on tough love.


Tough love . . . 
. . . is not mean love. It is still kind and gracious.
. . . has teary eyes not clenched jaws. It is firm, but not angry.
. . . is not judgmentalism under the guise of caring.
. . . is painful and heartbreaking for the one delivering it.
. . . is forgiving, but not permissive.
. . . uses a scalpel, not a machete.
. . . seeks to set people free, not to set people straight.
