A FB friend posted this…
"A woman's heart should be SO hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her." Stolen from Robin C. Smith, stolen from Ashley Landreth. "Powerful words."
WOW...so true. I had planned to chill out on FB, but this opened up a can of worms or maybe God’s plan…my heart has been so heavy on this subject. Women are lonely and want a man just as God intended for them to want a man. But the real man, women want is the Prince Charming, the Romeo...that only exists with our good and perfect Heavenly Father. And the only way earthly man can compete is by learning to love like our Heavenly Father loves.
A man's heart should be SO hidden in Christ that a mere beautiful woman does not turn his head from God causing him to miss out on the perfect gift(s) God has in store for him (1 Cor. 11:9) – one gift being that woman hidden in Christ, his soul mate, his partner in everything, the woman God intended to encourage him and lift him up in prayer and support him (that missing rib in his side…not just any rib…his original one, that perfect fitting rib that doesn’t rub or agitate, it fits like a glove). And he takes care of that rib, babies it, protects it, would never do anything to disrespect it and loves it as himself.
I believe that is why so many marriages end in divorce…even Christian marriages. Women can be deceived even by a snake into wanting more…Eve was in the garden (LOL…you know how women always want more…the apple…more knowledge…more stuff). And men can be talked into anything by a pretty woman…Adam was in the garden.
Do not lose heart though, God made a way even when our choices are not His choices and we miss out on that perfect gift from God. He can work miracles with the choices we have made if we will only look to Him for our help…but don’t think it will be easy…but it will be worth it .
Where are you, men of courage?
You were made for so much more
Let the pounding of our hearts cry
We will serve the Lord
We were made to be courageous
And we're taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight
The only way we'll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous
This is our resolution
Our answer to the call
We will love our wives and children
We refuse to let them fall
We will reignite the passion
That we buried deep inside
May the watchers become warriors
Let the men of God arise

God I pray that the seeds we have planted in our sons (and I wish we had planted more), God I pray that you take those seeds, love on them, nourish them, and protect them so they grow and develop into the men of courage that You would have them to be, always looking to Christ as their head (1 Cor. 11:3) so they are blessed with your good and perfect gifts, even if she has two heads and a rat’s tail, even if all looks dim,… they know without a doubt that God is GOOD and God is GREAT. Our sons are stubborn like me, they can debate (argue) with the best debater…Mr. Rhodes (muah!), and they have a wonderful sense of humor (probably more of a “weird” sense of humor since taken from me and Mr. Rhodes), but all these traits can be good things from God when used in moderation…I love you Lord and thank You for my family and the wonderful work You are doing.
