Forced Love?

Forced Love? I met a couple in which the man forced the woman to say she loved him and she said I love you, but only said it out of fear. This kind of forced love is not true, or sincere. We all want to be loved, but we can not force anyone to love us. The best example is our heavenly Father. God loves us all deeply, but He does not force anyone to love Him. He gives us the freedom to love Him, if we want. The Apostle Paul wrote in his first letter to the Corinthians: "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance". We can not force anyone to love us, but we can love all without expecting anything in return, because true love is unconditional, like God's love.
