James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is... willing to yield.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

This can be a very difficult thing to do, especially if God gave you the gift of a strong personality. But anyone who is married can understand how important it is to be willing to yield (in order to have a strong, healthy marriage). Children and parents also must learn to yield to each other. If parents never yield to the desires of their children, they may become selfish and domineering, and of course, we all know the importance of children yielding to parents. What about friendships? We must all learn to yield to one another, in love, of course.

God Bless You!
