The focus of today–PRAISE HIM! Yesterday’s counseling sessions seemed to primarily center around each one’s need to embrace what they are facing in their own life and praise God for creating themselves the way He did. So often we beat ourselves up for the “weaknesses we possess”. We completely overlook the idea that what we call a weakness has great strength in another realm. Sensitivity is one of these examples.

Men often get beat up emotionally when they are sensitive to others. Sensitivity is suppose to be a feminine characteristic. Why would a man be sensitive unless he is feminine rather than manly? This is what our culture teaches boys and men. Sensitivity is a strength if only we allow God to use the sensitivity He created us to have for His purposes in our lives. There is just nothing better than someone offering help sensitively to one in need. This sensitive person seems to understand just what the need is and how to give accordingly. God’s Holy Spirit is the core to this sensitivity. What could be a greater GIFT than this?

Our culture has done a cruel and destructive thing labeling manhood as it does. God’s sensitivity that He gives generously to some should be praised rather than cursed. How I love God and how I want to learn to thank Him for all He has done and is doing!
