Submission is like a gate to a garden. Out of it abundant blessings flow. We hate it, and we fight being thrown in… but if we belong to God, He puts us not only where He expects us to be but also where He can bless us. Submission is a mental act of respect. It is a growing in deference. …
Submission is more than just saying ‘yes dear’ even when your own opinion in a matter differs completely. The submission of our Savior led Him to prayer and grieving so that He literally sweat great drops of blood. His submission was spiked thorns encircling His head. Hammering great spikes from which to be hung after being beaten until He no longer bore any resemblance to a man. Was this weak? No. This was His very great strength. He says for the JOY set before Him He went to the cross. That is how we should view submission, no matter how difficult it may seem. Submission is joyful, and for most of us we have not yet resisted sin as Christ did to the point of shedding our blood.
