Man Up!!!

So today I just want to reach out to all the men out there. I have spent the past few days thinking of what some of us think makes us men. Some of us really have it all twisted and have no idea at all what makes us men. 

My dear men, one question to start it off... are you an onion so that you are always causing your girl to cry? She is not in a relationship with one, she is in a relationship with a man and she expects you to act as one. 

Many men out there believe they can pull off having two or three girls at a go, just because you need a plan B, C or even D just in case A does not work out. Come to your senses men. Now let me get it straight, you are planning to break the hearts of A, B and C on your way to D; and it is very likely that you will break D's heart as well. 

Even worse is those men who move from one ladies pants to the other. Yes, I will talk about it because not many of you want to hear about it. So you think you are so smooth that you can get a different girl to bed every week. That makes you no more than the the K-Street night workers. What a shame to call yourself a man and be proud of it.

I wonder what happened to the word commitment. Does it really make sense in the minds of men? Do you men out there really understand what committing to the relationship you are in really means? It means knowing that you are dealing with another human being, one with feelings and emotions.

" Ephesians 5:22- Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."
 Have you ever sat down and really given thought to this verse, just to get the depth that is in this one statement in the Bible. Well, here is what I understand: if you are not willing to give up as much as your life for the the girl that you love and want to spend the rest of your life with, then do not even bother, it is just not worth it. That is exactly what Jesus did for the Church; gave up everything, most importantly His life, so as to save the church. 

That is what love is. If you thought telling a woman to submit to her husband is hard, men, try loving your wife to the level of Christ's love for the church and you will get to know it is even harder.

So as you all call yourselves men and plan on that wonderful day you will say your vows, I really hope you are ready to mean every word you say and commit to it for the rest of your lives. most importantly to love that woman just as Christ loved the church. Do not forget that the two of you are no longer separate but you become one item. 

To all the women out there whose hearts have been broken, who have shed tears, who have been hurt by these kinds of men; my sincere apologies, you did not deserve it. Those were boys posing as men and just pass this message to them if you get a chance; grow up and be a man. 

Now dear men, love me or hate me, I will say it as it is; you need to be man enough, you need to  MAN UP!!

    I love talking of that verse because as you put it, Men think it is harder for women to submit than it is for them to love, but that Kind of Love aint easy at all, it needs you to Let Lords Love Lead. I am however more annoyed at the men who walks in to someones life, Light a flame until the heart is warm, then without a word or a reason they walk away! they need to MAN UP!
