Men, yes I am talking to you and would like to point out a few things for you to consider. We have a tremendous responsibility part to play as we journey through the world.....to our selves, to our families and to each other..
Our heritage is a long and rich one indeed. We started out as hunters and warriors in the truest sense of the word. We lived off the land and NO EXCUSES where allowed in our daily existence. You either performed or you didn't make it....it is as simple as that. Men made it!
We practiced loyalty to our fellow men and families and developed small tribes and villages in which to make and practice our stand in life. Everyone found their usefulness, their purpose and practiced it. Let's fast forward....to today and what is required
A man looks good when he does do a few things.......
1. Shave, haircut and a nice set of clothes.......it is something to behold.
2. If the man is in shape, add 1000 points. Man at his finest, doing his best and raising the bar.
3. Takes care of his family. Loves, protects and provides for them without the asking.........
4. Is approachable, changeable, and sensitive to those around him especially his wife and children.
5. A real man makes an excellent business partner, neighbor and friend.......
6. Keeps his word and his character beyond reproach consistently. Promote fairness and justice.
7. Obeys what is right in his heart....no matter what the cost involved.
A man looks bad when he does the following few things.......
1. Gets drunk.....not my idea of a hero or role model or someone I can trust.....I'm sorry
2. Is a friend to his children instead of a father. He chose the path of least resistance using the children no less
3. When he stops being vigilant both for himself and his family or associates. Women, children and the weak get rest and nurtured first, then the man.
4. Shames another man or person in public. In private, do what your heart instructs using charity liberally as you make your points. To shame another made in the image of the GOD....do pause here
5. Doesn't cherish, nurture, guide, correct and direct his wife with all his heart using patience and understanding of her needs. This is his helpmate, his second set of eyes and the holder of his trust. Be to her all things and she will show you a loyalty that others only dream about. This is a commitment unto death do you part.
6. Betrays what is right, fair, true, decent, honorable, and just. This is not allowed.......ever even unto death
Do not confuse what I am saying with a male.... Males lean toward more animalistic behaviors that lack virtue and character. Unfortunately, there is an abundance of males in today's society. ANI-Males or animals. Men, may remain scarce, I am sorry to say.
Males may become men by change (repentance) of behavior and then begin the work of a MAN.
Men, we have a duty to the world, to our communities, our families and to each other to maintain the standard of being a man. When this is properly practiced and carried out, order and predictable results flow freely and everyone prospers.
BONUS POINT: Practice this with all your heart. God will be very pleased and will want to know you intimately.
