All About Men

I saw this status on facebook:

You think you know what men are gonna do, you think you know what men want to do but when it comes right down to that moment when they actually need to step up, and I don't know, make a move, they chicken out. They're big, strong, brave men that we've been reading about in novels and watching in movies since we were nine years old, that's a fallacy, they don't exist. Men are not strong, men are not brave, men are afraid. ---The Ugly Truth

I beg to believe otherwise.

Men are strong. Men are brave. Men are not afraid.
How'd I know? My Dad is strong, brave, and not afraid.
And I have seen other men who are strong, brave, and not afraid.

I have seen men who stands up for what is right; even if they are just standing alone.
I have seen men who speaks for the truth; even if they got sneered and mocked at after telling it.
I have seen men who fights in defense of holiness; even to the point of self-sacrifice.

Men, who are strong, brave, and not afraid, find their own identity in Jesus, True God and True Man. From being a boy, they chose to be a MAN. In the sufferings exemplified by Jesus Christ, they chose to suffer for the cause of Christ; for they found Real Manhood in Jesus.

Yes, I have read when I was of school age that men are big, strong, and brave. But when I grew up, I realized that Men are more than what I have read.

And this is THE TRUTH.


By the way, watch this video of The Vortex: Masculinity and Catholicism

Make or Break?

Do not arouse, do not stir up love before its own time. (Song of Songs 2:7b)

The HEART can either Make you or Break you.

LOVE is more than just a feeling; it is more than an emotion.
LOVE, driven by COMMITMENT, is a DECISION.

Love's antecedent is preparing and waiting.
Love in correct timing is lasting.

Preparing one's self to be the Right One,
While waiting for God at His Right Time.

Are you in love with the feel-good emotion of love?
Or in love with the person you love?

Having the Right Reason in Loving
Defies treason you don't want having

DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO SETTLE FOR LESS.
FOR GOD MADE YOU OUT OF HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS.

Remember the Future

Let us take the issue that affects most of us: Love Life.

What I just want to point out is this...

When you've had kids in the future, how are you gonna respond when they ask: "Dad, how did your love story with Mom started? What's your love story?"

Are you gonna answer like: "Well... Your Mom and I were textmates then. I courted your Mom through texts, and, oh, I got her that easy. But don't you dare do what your Mom and I did. Don't you dare."

What kind of a love story is that?

Well, very simple, remember the future by doing good and living pure in the present. By remembering, I mean, taking into consideration the future: that in everything we do has a consequence in the future.

LOVE IS PRECIOUS. DO NOT CHEAPEN IT.
