Man Up The Jesus Way

Written By Randy X. Ferreira

Biblical strength isn’t emotionless toughness—real strength includes compassion, forgiveness, humility, and love.

Hey Tough guy !!!

As men our society has taught us to act tough and be strong  and never even think about crying. You know what I mean. To act like nothing ever bothers us and project a certain manly image.

But God calls us to be something different, to be loving men and always act in love—to be patient, kind, forgiving, and compassionate toward others.

Men, we struggle with this because we feel like we have to be strong, hide our emotions, and never show weakness. But the Bible teaches us that loving others and showing love towards others isn’t weakness; it’s actually strength!

Real strength is being humble enough to show compassion, forgive others, and encourage others while still leading with love.

Guys, let’s remember to strive to be strong in character, while still having hearts that reflect the love of Christ in everything we do.
