James 4: 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

When a student submits a paper to a teacher or an employee submits a proposal to management, they are giving their work product to them. In those situations, it’s almost certain corrections will need to be made. It could be spelling errors, additional research may be needed, or the entire idea may need to be changed.

If we expect changes after submitting a paper or a proposal, how much more should we expect changes after submitting our lives to God? God may have some changes for our negative attitude by constantly reminding us to be a little nicer. God may correct our definition of forgiveness by showing us how to forgive and genuinely love people at the same time. God may exercise our patience by delaying a desire.

Regardless of the situation, we can expect some changes when we submit our lives to God. Don’t get intimidated or frustrated by these changes. As long as we live, little corrections will always be suggested. These changes are only making us better people in this dark world.
