Love is the business of men
God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness,
but one of power, love, and sound judgement.
2 Timothy 1:7
When a movie is marked as a love story, we assume it's promarily for an audience of woman. If plots don't contain fighting, bleeding, or exploding, men will gladly avoid them. But real love is not merely woman's work. it's at the core of manhood, transforming men to be strong and courageous.
Love makes a husband put away childish things and embrace his responsabilities to lead his family. It drives him to defend his wife, provide for his children, and even lay down his life if they become endangered. Love motivates a man to confront injustice and take passionate stands for what he believes in, like crossing an ocean to fight for his country.
Jesus was the most loving man ever to walk the earth and remains the perfect example of manhood. With passion, He confronted evil. cast out demons, and rebuked religious hypocrites. Out of love, He served sacrificially, rescued the broken-hearted, and willingly died for the sins of the world. Real men embrace this love as the driving force to boldly do what boys merely dream of.
This weeks Dare
Keep praying this week:"Lord, teach me what real love is and make me a loving person."
