Hey a good friend of mine just turned 15, and for his birthday his dad had a man ceromony for him. He had a buch of guys get together after playing a beast game of basketball and tell him what they thought it looked like t be a Godly man. So i just wanted to share with yall what i shared with him....this is a very condenced version however.
part of being a godly man, is leadership. And what i see in the men that i respect and love the most is love, humility, and service....look at the greatest servant of all, and therefor, man or vice versa, Jesus Christ. He was known as the suffering servant, he was perfectly loveing and perfectly humble...the best leaders are those who first and foremost, serve with joy because of their love and humility.
And also maturity. Being a man is not instant like i think austin or jordan said. its a process called maturity. And this year the aspect of maturity that God has shone me is that maturity is not perfection, its learning how to deal with your lack of perfection in a way that is honoring to the Lord.
so seek Love and you will find humility, find humility and you will serve, serve and you will be a better leader. Be content in all things, find joy in all through Christ, and you will find maturity.
