the greatest frustrations

One of the greatest frustrations with people is that they can demand of you more that they deserve or more than you have to give. People can be selfish and very inconsiderate.
Remember this: Owe no man anything except to love him. Romans 13:8
You may not owe them the time they demand, but you owe them love.
You may not owe them an explanation, but you owe them love.
You may not owe them the allegiance they seek, but you owe them love.
You may not owe them the money, but you owe them love.
You may not owe them to attend their event, but you owe them love.
You may not owe them the favor that they are demanding, but you owe them love.
You may not owe them the gift that they are hinting about, but you owe them love.

Don't let people rip you apart. Don't let them strip you bare, constantly asking for more from you and causing you to be angry and bitter. But even if you have to say no, do it in love. They still deserve dignity and respect even as you decline. God says that no matter what they do, YOUR DEBT TO LOVE THEM IS NEVER PAID. YOU ALWAYS OWE PEOPLE LOVE!
Don't let people walk all over you but neither should you walk all over people because you are offended! Walk in love.
That is maturity and that is balance!
Have a loving week yáll.
