Men I would like to give you another challenge and ask you honestly this question.
Do you really know how to love a woman?
I am not talking about lusting after her flesh.............
I am not talking about feeling love for a woman .............
I am talking about practicle application of total acceptence to a woman.....
Not just acceptence but giving to her when you feel threatened by her...............
Giving love to her when you feel disrespected by her.........
Giving her love when you feel manipulated by her.........
Giving her love when you feel missunderstood by her..........
Giving her love when you feel unappreciated by her..........
Giving her love when she is not around and your boys are......
Have you studied a woman to know and understand her needs???????
Until you do you are not ready for a relationship........
Until you learn how to give in every situation your not ready......
So men do you know what love is? Love is being a giver. Love is being strength. Love covers sin. Love will cause you to suffer. Patience is the expression of love. You will be a kind and gentle man to your lady. As you love you will seek your ladies best interest over your own. Most important Your love will never falter. You will stand fast in your love for your woman.
Men engrave love upon your hearts and learn from Gods example, learn from Jesus example, learn from scripture what love is.
Only when we take responsibility in love will we show forth that we are followers of Christ to the world around us.
We have faltered we have failed but lets us pick our selves up and be men.
it has been my experience that if You are Feeling threatened, manipulated, disrespected,by Your Woman? She is threatening You,manipulating You,or Disrespecting You...
much like if You are feeling beat down and look up to see the policeman standing over You with a pr24 in his hand? lol....
very true Ms Marvel "pining" i can neither understand or comprehend this..
" sqwoez " is another word men will never even minutely understand,Thank GOD !!!!
Was Jesus the ideal Man?
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
Are we familar with this passage and has it become evidenced in our lives?
31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ�s sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4: 31,32
Mark,
I am simply presenting real world situations where love needs to be expressed. Love is best expressed in difficult situations where our very existance is threatened. When we look to Jesus example of how He loved even when being beaten and rejected. I am simply seeking to challenge men to do the same.
We need to stand together and be strong and no longer boys with our emotions, reacting out of our own weakness. We are the leaders of this world and we have to set the pace in the church showing forth what God has given to us.
Mark.... I can't reach you.... trying so hard to find different ways......lesliegallagher.tails-on-trailshotmail.com my page is frozen and I can't do ANYTHING..... administrators are not helping me.... only God knows is you will get this....Hartendove...Lesle
Let's remember what the ultimate expression of love was by God. It was unconditional love, that is without condition. There is nothing we can do to prevent, alter, influence or change God's love us. We can reject his love, but that diminish his love in any way.
If this is the epitome of love, then this is what we all should strive for (man and woman). Let us free ourselves from such outdated indoctrination that suggests that only women are capable of understanding emotions. What a joke. We worship a mind-bogglingly sensitive God, an extremely emotional God whose enormous heart cannot be contained by his righteousness and holy judgement.
Jesus seemed perfectly capable of understanding and expressing emotions. Whenever I hear men act as if emotion is something that only humans without a 'Y' chromosome can understand, I shake my head a bit.
I would be satisfied if I could achieve one-one billionth of such unconditional love...not that such a statement has any real quantitative value. To be able to honestly tell a man who is about to shoot you in the face that you love him...wow that's just incredible, but that's EXACTLY how Jesus was dying on the cross. He loved literally to death the men who killed him. We have our example of unconditional love, now men and women, let's attempt to emulate it.
