Faith Mom Tough Love Bundle
Learning to Love When Love Is Hard (1 Corinthians 13)
There is a kind of love that feels gentle and natural—and then there is tough love.
The kind that costs you sleep.
The kind that aches in your chest.
The kind that keeps showing up even when your child is pushing away, rebelling, or choosing a path you would never choose for them.
If you are a mom loving a prodigal child, 1 Corinthians 13 doesn’t feel poetic.
It feels demanding.
And sometimes, exhausting.
Yet Scripture is honest with us:
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind…” (1 Corinthians 13:4, KJV)
Love suffers long.
That means it has a body cost.
It requires recovery, care, and returning—moment by moment—to the love of God so you can keep loving without hardening.
This is where the Faith Mom Tough Love Bundle comes in.
These are not solutions.
They are soothing helps—small, tangible reminders that God supplies strength for what He asks of you.
Love Suffers Long — and Needs a Pause
Stress Ball | “Not Easily Provoked” (1 Cor. 13:5)
đź“– Learn More HERE
Tough love can tighten your chest, your jaw, your hands.
Sometimes before wisdom can speak, your body reacts.
This simple stress ball becomes a pause button.
A moment to breathe.
A chance to let patience catch up with emotion.
Because love is not reactive.
And sometimes the most loving thing you can do is squeeze, breathe, and wait before responding.
Love Thinks No Evil — and Forgiveness Is Essential
Forgiveness Journal | “Thinketh No Evil” (1 Cor. 13:5)
đź“– Learn More HERE
You can say the right words and still carry the weight.
You can obey God outwardly while your heart keeps rehearsing the hurt.
Forgiveness is not pretending it didn’t matter.
It is releasing what you cannot carry if you are going to keep loving.
This forgiveness journal gently walks you through that process—so you can bear all things without bitterness taking root.
Forgiveness clears space for love to endure.

Love Is Kind — Even When You Are Worn Down
Healing Hand Lotion | “Charity…is kind” (1 Cor. 13:4)

Tough love wears on the hands that serve, correct, hold, and pray.
Dryness, cracking, rough edges—these are signs of work done faithfully.
This lotion is one I personally use and love because it truly heals.
Hands. Face. Feet. All of it.
Kindness often begins with softness.
And sometimes love needs literal moistening—a reminder that God does not ask you to love from hardness, but from gentleness renewed.

Love Bears All Things — and Sometimes You Need to Wash the Tears Away

There are days when loving your child means crying in the bathroom, then standing back up to keep going.
This face wash has become a quiet ritual for me.
The lather is just right.
The tiny beads feel refreshing—almost like a reset.
It’s not vanity.
It’s recovery.
Love that bears all things still needs moments to wash away the residue of grief, disappointment, and emotional strain.

Love Endures — and Stays Available
Clam Shell Lamp | “Endureth All Things” (1 Cor. 13:7)

This lamp is one of the most peaceful lights we’ve ever owned.
We bought it for my daughter years ago, and it remains a gentle presence at night—never harsh, never overwhelming.
Its soft glow says something without words:
I’m here.
I’m available.
The light is still on.
For a mom walking through hard conversations or quiet evenings with God, this light becomes a symbol of enduring love—steady, calm, and present.
It also makes a beautiful, meaningful gift for someone walking through a hard season.
Love Does Not Pinch Back
Soft Plush Crab | “Charity…is kind” (1 Cor. 13:4)
đź“– Learn More HERE
Crabs are known for their pinchers.
But this one is soft.
It’s a gentle reminder that when you are pinched by hurt, rejection, or rebellion, you don’t have to pinch back.
Sometimes love looks like holding something soft when your heart feels anything but.
This little crab is comfort—not correction.
A reminder that tenderness is strength.

Kept in Love, Moment by Moment
Andrew Murray once wrote of being kept moment by moment in the love of God— our strength to obey flows not from willpower, but from continual dependence.
That is the heart of this bundle.
You are not being asked to manufacture love.
You are being invited to remain in God’s love—and let Him supply what you need to love others when it hurts.
“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” (1 Corinthians 13:13, KJV)
If you are loving a prodigal child today, know this:
Your obedience is seen.
Your tears are not wasted.
Your love—though costly—is never empty.
These simple helps are here to soothe the ache in your heart and body, so you can continue to walk faithfully, moment by moment, kept in the love of God.
