Enabling is anything that stands in the way of persons experiencing the natural consequences of their own behavior. Tracy, the young mother of two boys, has mastered the art of manipulating her family into enabling her behavior. The last time it happened , the parents were planning to mortgage their home so they could afford the bail payment. A man reaps what he sows. God's Word is specific.
Bad actions have painful consequences, even when our children or loved ones are involved.
Thankfully, God can use those consequences for His purposes - if we don't get His way. You ve stopped rescuing them. Now they are beginning to feel the painful consequences of their irresponsible decisions. Just before mortgaging their home, Tracy s parents were persuaded to stop enabling her. They let her stay in jail for almost a year - feeling the full impact of her irresponsible behavior.
