Submission is not about one person taking over the freewill of another. It is one person laying aside their own desires through free choice, as a gift to the other. It is like a mighty warrior sheathing his sword, or a beautiful woman covering her face and choosing not to use her beauty as a tool to manipulate others.
When you choose to submit to the Lord, you remain in possession of your own strength. He does not take away your beauty or your power.
The Lord has called you to partner with Him, not to be His slave. There is an important difference. You have Holy-Spirit influenced autonomy. You are not an automaton; you have autonomy.
