Boy meets girl, boy approaches girl, girl rejects boy, boy disrespects girl.
Funny? But we have all seen this scenario before.
Men approaching a young lady expecting a certain outcome, but when the desired outcome doesn't come into formation or agreement; the true colors/character is revealed! I can identify with this scenario personally, because I used to do it too. Today, it seems like a huge phenomenon of men using their Christianity as a means for people to notice them as "special" or "different," however they are not allowing their relationship with God as a means for transformation and character molding.
Men, if we actually allowed our relationship/knowledge of God to be used to transform our character into the likeness of Christ, instead of using it as a means and a way to attract women; we would be unstoppable! Not only would our character change, but I believe the world around us would change as well!
Check this, 1 Timothy 5:2 (New Living Translation) says:
"Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters."
Since women are either going to be older or younger than us, we have a responsibility to cover and protect them. Regardless if they are our significant other or not, we still have an obligation to treat them as if they were members of our own family!
The challenge/question I want to leave to any man that reads this, including myself is this:
Does the persona we want women/people to see an authentic representation of our actual character?
