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.
