Men of God=Example

Men...
Part of their calling is to become the heads of families that will actively submit to Christ.
In today’s society, there aren’t many examples of this.
There are men who are intimidated by beautiful, successful, women. Then there are those men who just want to be taken care of by women, who are insecure, or those who see them as sexual objects, the list can go on…

However, (I know the men were like is she going to say anything good? Lol) there are some awesome men out here! Ladies, I know we have our rap sessions and many of us have had our waiting to exhale moments but do not lose hope! There are men who will love you as Christ loves the church, who will encourage you, never hurt you, pour into you and pull the very BEST out of you! There are men who will respect your purity and treat you as the daughters of Christ that you are. They are out here…a man who WILL recognize that YOU are WORTH THE WAIT! There are men who truly practice what they preach!

You may be saying, “Well how do you know this?” I have been blessed, honored, and humbled since the beginning of my walk to be exposed to men like this. These men are brothers in Christ. Some women are blessed to have fathers who have shown them what a man of God is supposed to resemble. But for those who did not have that Godly father figure, a brother in Christ can serve as an example of a Godly man. Without these Godly examples in our lives it seems as if women tend to settle. This because they have not been exposed to better and don’t know that it is possible.

Many women have not experienced a “pure” friendship with a man without it turning into something lustful. That’s why as a man of God, it is CRITICAL for you to walk in your role. Be a leader! Show your sisters and women of God that they are loved, and that they don’t have to settle. You all (men of God) make such a difference in the lives of women just by taking ownership of your role! This means you love as Christ loves, and you become the example of righteousness! Too often we see women leading the pack when it comes to faithfulness and complete obedience to the Word…When you (men) are called to be the head!

God has exposed me to some men who love God more than anything else in the world. Men who desire to take the lead role in the things of God for their families. He has exposed me to men who won’t allow me to touch a door or lift anything heavy. Men who operate in this highest standards of chivalry. Men who will encourage you and push you to do better. Men who will protect your purity and honor you.

These men help me not to sell myself short…Because of my past, these examples were extremely critical to me. There was a time because of what I’ve experienced where I have even feared men. That fear pushed me into lifestyle not of God. I once despised men. When I saw men I saw hurt, pain, or someone that would try to use me as an object of their desire. I did not see CHRIST. When I came into the body of Christ that fear did not go away overnight. Today, I praise God that fear is gone because of men who have been the example for me. I thank God for you…and I love you. Keep doing what you are doing brothers. Continue to bless women like me. :-)
