Have you ever loved somebody so much that you found yourself working harder on their situation than they were?
You offer advice. You pray. You explain what you see. You try another approach because maybe, just maybe, this time they’ll listen. And when nothing changes, you start wondering whether you should have said more, done more, or tried harder.
I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to confuse loving people with being responsible for their choices. We can genuinely want someone to experience freedom, healing, and the goodness of God without having the power to make them receive it.
That’s one of the lessons behind my latest blog post, *You Can Love Them Without Saving Them*. We’ll look at Mark 6:11 and consider what it means to share what God has placed on our hearts while recognizing when it’s time to step back.
You don’t have to stop loving someone to stop carrying what was never yours to control.
Sometimes obedience means speaking. Sometimes it means praying quietly and trusting God with the rest.
