Give Up Being Insistent

“Love does not seek its own way; it is not irritable or resentful” (I Corinthians 13:5). We know this to be true, not simply because we read it in Scripture, but because we’ve experienced the estrangement that comes from being demanding. No one wants to cuddle up to someone who is demanding or manipulative. We don’t want to get close to someone who persists in getting what they want, overriding our feelings and needs. Consider others. Remember their needs and in this way express true love.
