God is an autonomous Being who we have no control over. You do not have to like God in order to submit to Him in your heart. But if you submit to Him, you will learn to like Him. If you try to use the fact that you dislike Him as an excuse for why you’re justified in defying His Authority as the Creator of all things, well, how do you think He is going to respond? Does your personal opinion of the current leader of your country change how much political power he or she has? We humans put far too much importance on our approval. We think that if we don’t like God, that excuses us from having to deal with Him. Some even take it so far as to pretend that God can’t literally exist until they personally believe in Him. Who are we kidding with such ridiculous thinking? You might not approve of me hitting you in the head with a hammer, but your lack of approval is not going to stop me from hitting you, nor will it make the hammer in my hand cease to exist. You didn’t create yourself. You were created by Someone Else, and that Someone Else demands that you submit to His Authority or else He’ll make your existence a continuous misery. How stupid is it to rebel against the One who is holding ALL of the power? When it comes to submitting to God, there is no room for negotiation: it’s His way or Hell.
