Submission


This is submission:

Complete confidence that God's will for me
is the very best thing that could happen to me.
It means accepting my present situation.
Submission says first of all,
"O God, if by being here in this situatin I can glorify You more,
then I am happy to be here.
If you choose to keep me in this situation for the rest of my life,
because to do so will better bring your purpose to pass
and will better manifest Your power and your love to lost men and women,
then let me be here for the rest of my life."
It is not often that He requires this of you,
but you must come to that place of submission and be willing.
