Control
We want it.
We crave for it. We salivate for
it.
Why?
For many people, control is the only solution they know to satisfy the
deepest longings in their heart. They
want people to behave in a particular way, and they’ll do everything so that
their expectations are met.
How?
They’ll control through anger or intimidation or shame or
people-pleasing.
But I’ve now realized that control is the
language of the weak. It's the strong
that can let go and let God.
If the language of the weak is control, the
language of the strong is submission.
They submit to God and find their complete fulfillment in His love. They don’t need others to behave in a
particular way for them to be happy.
They’re already complete.
Only strong people can submit to another
human being too.
We always preach that wives should submit
to their husbands. (Ephesians 5:22-24). But if you carefully read the Bible verses
around this passage, you’ll realize that the husband should also submit to the
wife. God is calling spouses to mutual
submission.
Not only spouses, but to anyone who is in a
relationship: Parents and children to mutually submit to each other; Co-workers
to mutually submit to each other; Friends to mutually submit to each other…
Because here’s the Truth: It’s only through
mutual-submission that your relationship can be Grace-filled.
Have a Grace-filled Feast today!
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez
