Submission

Submission

The discipline which frees us to let go of the burden of always needing to get our own way.

Growth in the discipline of submission requires a person to consider the ways with which they view other people.  A person acting in submission will be respectful and considerate of all people.  They will first be submissive to the Triune God, then the Scriptures, their family, neighbors, the body of Christ, those broken and despised, and finally the world.  Leadership and power are found and demonstrated by becoming a servant of all.

 

Jesus calls us to self-denial without self-hatred.  Self-denial is simply a way of coming to understand that we do not have to have our own way.  Our happiness is not dependent upon getting what we want.
~ Richard J. Foster, Celebration of Discipline
