men
This is reposted from http://kassota.wordpress.com/
This last weekend our pastor spoke to men. and he spoke to them rather harshly. Theres a link below for you to listen to in a sec. but it got me thinking about all the men i have been subjected to in my life.
Men…do you realize that every little girl dreams of being safe? Every little girl dreams of being cuddled by her husband as her children run about the room? Every little girl dreams of being held at the end of the day and whispered to, “i love you”? Do you realize this? Do you, really?
But, this dream does not flesh itself out for every little girl.
I wont make this about what I received as a child. but i will say that I saw too many men in my life abuse their “power” while abusing my mother. Leaving her black and blue and bloody.
I got to be a punching bag for some of them too. i bear the physical scars today as a reminder.
I then went on to find a man just like all of them. my first marriage was abusive…It ended with him taking a shotgun to himself. ending his life.
Is this really what its supposed to be like? Men…can you sit there and tell us this is what a woman deserves?
I am not angry. but I am passionate about this. We, women, are not below you. we are your equal. we are human. we are people.
Are we perfect? No. Not one of us are. are we worthy of love, respect and protection? You betcha life on it!
Show us you love us. Show us you would die for us.
Grow some and be the man of God you were created to be.
love, tam
