Daily Devotion for September 22, 2018

Men! We MUST do BETTER in COMMUNICATION! I know you’re told that you got to be hard, can’t cry, keep your feelings to yourself, but it’s making us stressed, in bad health & unable to express ourselves (in a health way). When we are hurt or shut down, the image that is shown is: We become angry, cussing, going to a bar/ strip club, cheating on spouse or fighting. The major target that our behavior affect is… OUR CHILDREN! Our lack of communication (or expressing ourselves) prevents our children from bonding with us, not knowing their roots or knowing their identity & self worth. I know people pressure us men to STAND UP & BE A MAN. But how they expect someone to be a man when some males never been taught HOW to be a MAN? I understand! That’s why we have to 1st admit that we have failed & WE NEED HELP! The ONLY way to get the help we need is through Jesus Christ! He will help us to be the leaders that He called us to be. We will receive the respect we are looking for from society, our spouse, children & ourselves. We will be able to set the model to our sons how to be men & show our daughters how to be treated by a (REAL) man! Regardless of your past, it’s NOT too late to make a change in your life! Learn to FORGIVE (Yourself & others) & start NOW! Do it for yourself, your family, your legacy! #Exhale into the MAN God Made You to BE! Be blessed! #brotherprater
