The Christian Man
The life of a Christian man is a paradoxical one. We’re taught to be humble but learn to become jerks. For those who make a conscious effort to be meek and Christ-like, there is a constant struggle with bitterness and pride that naturally develops within relationships as a result of simply being human. Our carnal hearts reject holiness as if it’s something that is unwelcome and contradictory to our very nature. The world incessantly reaffirms the fact that being humble is excruciatingly difficult - which for myself is proven in larger volumes being a Business student. Thus, I find life easier when I act upon my quick temper, rather than seeking His spirit for counseling and help in uneasy situations.
I hope in the Lord - that His love casts out these temptations to be unholy. The path of righteousness is a challenging, unsteady, and sometimes unbearable one. I don’t want to be humble simply to reject my human nature, but I want to let it be an overflow of the love I receive from my loving Father. Everyday I’m tested in my faith and I’m conveniently equipped with a shortness for people and a tendency to bottle up frustration. Love break me now.
