Philippians 1:9-11 NLT I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God. Release: Stop doing for them what they can do for themselves. Treat them the way you would another person you respect. Advise: Ask before offering advice: “Would you like my thoughts on that?” Be okay if they say, “Not now.” Let experience teach them when your words won’t. Love: Don’t confuse unconditional love with unconditional approval. Keep communication lines open, even if the choices hurt. Be the safest place for them to turn when life gets messy.
