Marriage Prep: A Soft Man is Strong Man...?

Devotion Entry #987: 4:38am

My sister had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night because a bug crawled in her ear and she was in excruciating pain. I went with my father to go with her to the hospital. I learned some things about relationships at that moment, first of all the minute she said she was hurting every man in her life DID NOT HESITATE. They ran towards her aid which taught me that granted not everyone’s emergency is not my emergency but for my loved ones you have to make it your emergency because they need you especially if it’s out of their norm. Also it was interesting I seen my Father and my sisters bf Greg tending to her so gently during her pain I never saw that before. How such firm, big and strong men become so gentle, warm and comforting. They held her hand, wiped her tears, cleaned her face and endured her frustrations, attitude and insults. I never seen anything like before and it showed me what I am supposed to do in that space and situation. It also showed me the different roles a man is to play in a woman’s life….she had an authority covering (Father), emotional/heart covering (Greg) and a representative of a spiritual covering (Me). As if God was showing her something…..that’s was interesting. I’m thankful for that experience and teaching, God let me meet those needs for the woman you have for me.
