Look At Your Man

Look at your man.

I promise you, he is deeper than you think.

Scared and hurting more than you think.

And has a heart filled with just as much love and fear as yours.

I know... He's been distant, dismissive, and disconnected. And that hurt you.

You don't have to pretend that hasn't happened, or try to forget it. But let that sit to one side for just a minute.

And look at your man.

But when you do... actually see him. For just a minute.

I promise you, he's more powerful and capable than he knows.

And has a courage and purpose in his heart greater than even he believes.

I know... You've tried to tell him, bring it out of him, but to no avail. And that frustrates and worries you.

You don't have to do anything about it. So for just a minute, stop rescuing, fixing, teaching or preaching.

And look at your man.

But actually see him. For just a minute.

And you might realize that God doesn't love him any more or less than you.

That he is no more blessed or cursed than you.

And when you feel that, that's when you've seen him. Perhaps for the first time.
