If you said “yes” to any of the above questions keep reading …

– It doesn’t take long to recognize the differences between the genders,
– Nor does it to witness the uniqueness of each person,
– Though we are all made in God’s image,
– Typically when we think of women and men,
– We think of strength and tenderness respectively,
– As defining characteristics we grow to expect,
– I am glad that is not always where truth stops,
– As there is even more beauty in the melting of those two in either gender,
– Perhaps even more notable when found within men?
– Though I suspect it is more existent than shown,
– Because it requires vulnerability and transparency,
– As well as the ability to embrace both,
– I have fortunately seen that ability become a desire,
– A passionate one that yearns to feel and express emotion,
– For the intimate blessing that it truly is each day,
– I now see tears as a gift from God,
– Simply because you can continue to have life full of deep expression,
– They become drops of flowing emotion that display your heart to the world,
– Leaving a lasting impact that only you can leave,
– Even the manliest man can exhibit more than mere strength and brawn,
– True strength is found in tenderness,
– It all begins with a willingness to grow in love,
– Men let us bask in the truth that God is a willing teacher,
– One that yearns to help us understand there is nothing greater than love,
– I am eternally grateful Lord that despite the circumstances of life, you helped me become a tender man…
God bless,
Joe
