It is not always easy being a man in today's
world.
Oftentimes, a man may find that the
game of life is
unfair and the playing
field is not level.
Treat a man with kindness of heart
and he'll help protect yours for all time!
The day to day pressures and expectations that surround
our men can be difficult for them to at times handle. And, we, the women in their lives, whether we be wife, mother,
daughter, sister, significant other, best friend, you name it...owe it to them, to honor them.
Especially the women who hold the position of wife, that designation
is one of honor. In that, he your husband, has opened his heart to you, to let you within. Men don't always allow
someone in. They hurt too...but often will not show it or tell it. But you can certainly feel it...when there
is pain in him.
Ladies, you must remember that your husband is to be held in high esteem.
You are to honor him...make him know without a shadow of a doubt that he is your love. He is the one who is there for
you...and you likewise are there for him. More importantly, the two of you, which are one soul in two bodies, are His,
and He loves you both best.
Men, you as the head of the wife, are to love her unconditionally, as Christ
loves the Church. When all, that is, both the husband and the wife, adhere to the Order which has been established by
God, Himself, all else will fall into place.
Ladies, if you want your husband to be more loving and kind to you...then try
a little tenderness yourself, too. Pamper one another...not just with material items, but with the love, peace and joy
and a kind and encouraging word...that can only be bestowed upon you when you seek Him in prayer together.
Our men are truly important in our lives, for those of us who have adopted
the credo that "we may not need or want a man" are truly, I believe, in need...for woman was made for man. It is said
in His word, that it is not good for man to be alone. Note, too, that the Word also speaks of women, and their contentious
behavior, that it is better for a man to be without...than to live with a woman who is bitter.
My mom use to tell me, to speak kindly to those that I encountered...for my words
were a reflection of me, and they would be remembered long after I had forgotten what I said to someone. Gentlemen,
please also take my Mom's advice here. Women need to hear your love and appreciation of their efforts.
It is so wonderful to have a spouse who is able to express their faithful and
dedicated love to one another for all time and through all times...good, bad & otherwise.
Men, on behalf of my sisters, I salute you and appreciate you in your continued
efforts to understand, love, caress and heal our hearts by your ferverent efforts to bridging the gap that separates us from
loving each other unconditionally.
Most importantly, I am thankful and grateful for the foundation for which
all men in my life have come from, which is the Source of our existence, our Father. Since we share this commonality
which is certainly not common, we then, must do as the word says, and that word is to love one another!
Therefore my message to the men is as follows:
God not only loves you very much but also has put His hand
on you for something special.
Remember that...
In all the world there is only one you, you have a laugh,
a smile, a heart that no one else can duplicate or replace. That's because you are a special creation of God, made in
His image, and He formed you with His hands. He loves you with all His heart!
Know that you are a blessing to those around you, too.
And your life is a wonderful reason to thank God especially today...which begins your new life in Him, for His glory!
Blessings to you each and every day, my Brothers-In-Christ!
Sincerely,
--Nellie Anita!
