If you feel you are right in everything, you probably are not open to change. If you feel you are a very important person, then you are probably unwilling to adjust to circumstances. Facing reality, which leads to humility, is most conducive to flexibility. Working with others requires flexibility, and any great achievement demands team effort. Unwillingness to follow instructions and to submit to authority is a mark of character deficiency.
Many marriage problems result from an unwillingness to adjust and be flexible.
The success of our spiritual lives in our relationship to God depends wholly upon our willingness to be flexible enough to adjust to His perfect will. When we are secure in God, change does not upset us. As hymnwriter Anna Waring wrote, In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear.
