I want my own way, you want your own way. We all want to be in charge. We submit seldom, and reluctantly.
God says, “Blessed are the meek” (Matthew 5:5). God blesses us when we are humble, gentle, voluntarily letting others have their way, voluntarily letting God have his way.
Matthew 5:5 includes a reward: “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”
