As I thought about nature yesterday a picture came to mind of the male animals. Have you ever noticed that the males are the ones with beauty? They demonstrate all these things to attract the female, they don't change from season to season, but I am guessing they get better at what they do. It is truly amazing how God has designed each of them.
If you look at nature and compare it to us, we have to wonder why we are different. The men seem to put on a small show for females, entrapping them in a snare of the made up thing in there head, but when it comes living out the actions, some males fall short.
I guess the whole point to this blog is to say, isn't it time that us men step up and be men? Isn't it time that we stop putting ourselves first and start being the person that God has created us to be? It is high time that we be the fathers, the husbands, the boyfriends that our significant others need. We have sat on the back burner for to long, but it is not to late, because with God all things are possible. Change your focus from yourselves and start looking to what God has for you. The more you seek Him, the more your focus changes from what you think your relationships are about and the more you see what it truly is. We are a light to our nation, we are called to lay down our lives for the ones we love, are you willing to do that? It is easy to say it, but when it comes time to do it, totally different.
It is time to stand up and be counted. Stop blaming anyone else for your bad relationships, change starts with you, not with changing someone else. Take a moment to reflect and see that God has given you a choice to make today. It will not be easy, but all things are possible for those that love God. Isn't it time to stop looking to others and start seeking His face, call on Him to help. He is with you and He doesn't leave or forsake you. In Him is truth and freedom from the old. Let Him cut the anchor and set you free so that you can be the Man that God calls you to be.
It is a learning process. Day to day, but God is still the same. Seek Him first, not second and it isn't me first and then God, it is time to be the men that we are called to be.
You are so right Geoff, thanks for recognizing this and blogging about it. Godly, courageous, strong men who stand up for what's right and won't compromise their values and convictions are a dying breed. I'm so blessed to have one in my life ;)
