Submission-the mystery revealed.
The meaning of submission came to me in one of those “oh, duh!” moments when I realized that the word could be broken down into “sub” and “mission”. Then, in my brilliance, I saw that submission means “under -mission”. I concluded that to be submissive meant to be a willing participate with someone else’s mission. Understanding submission in this way helps me to decide where I will be submissive and where I will not. If I have a choice in the matter, I can say that I do or do not agree with the vision of a particular organization (you name it–church, job, ministry, etc) and then decide if I am willing to be submissive to that vision.
