THE POWER OF SUBMISSION
|
THE POWER OF SUBMISSION The Power of Submission In submission we are at last free to value other people. Their dreams and plans become important to us. We have entered into a new, wonderful, glorious freedom - the freedom to give up our own rights for the good of others. For the first time we can love people unconditionally. We have given up the right to demand that they return our love. No longer do we feel that we have to be treated a certain way. We rejoice in their successes. We feel genuine sorrow in their failures. It is of little consequence that our plans are frustrated if their plans succeed. We discover that it is far better to serve than to have our own way. The touch stone for understanding submission is surrendering ones self, to deny ones self. Almost instinctively we draw back from these words. We are much more comfortable with self-fullfillment and self-actualization, than the words self-denial. Self denial conjures up in our minds all sorts of images of groveling and self-hatred. We imagine that it most certainly means rejection of our individuality and will probably lead to various forms of self-mortification. On the contrary, when we are in service, submission, this is where our self-worth lies. Self-denial is simply a way of coming to understanding that we do not have to have our way. Our happiness is not dependent upon getting what we want but dependent in our submission and our love of service.  |
