Love... lets the other win

Joel and I have been going through the "Love Dare" book, and oh my goodness is it an eye-opener!
Today's chapter was on laying down your rights and desires and letting the other person "win". It's a lot harder than it sounds at first! I'll just share some of my favorite sections from today's reading. :)

* The opposite of stubbornness - "willing". "It's an attitude and spirit of cooperation that should permeate our conversations."
* " 'Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus' (Phil. 2:5) - the attitude of willingness, flexibility, and humble submission. It means laying down for the good of others what you have the right to claim for yourself."
* "The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield." (James 3:17)
