Does love let someone fail? Yes, when failure has the potential to lead to a positive change. Of course we are human and we can never know
Good answers.
The first question can be used in marriage and in the Church. Yes, we can disagree unless it is contrary to the “contract” we made with the other person or God. No, I can not do as I please without thinking of the part of the contract. We love and disappoint people we love, including God, everyday. But loves steps in and forgives. All of the others are a complete yes. Many years ago there was a famous line in a movie, “love means never having to say I’m sorry.” Well, yes we do have to say I am sorry whether it is God, spouse, children or fellow Christian. It;’s early in the morning and hope my comments are what I am really trying to say. Need more coffee.
The coffee seems to be working. Or my coffee is because all your answers made complete sense.
What Doug said 100%.
Great questions to ponder daily as we interact with others.
Thanks
