Occasionally I will ask myself the question, am I the man that God has called me to be? If I answer honestly, I would have to say no. I know that I don't always put God first. I know that I don't always treat my wife and children the way that I should. I know that I allow the stresses of life to pull me away from God. But God still loves me anyway. He promised that He will never leave me or forsake me even if I do Him. Once I take the time to pray and ask for forgiveness He reminds me that I am a child of the King and that He will forgive me. God loves us unconditionally even when we forget that He is in control and that He will see us through anything that life can bring.
God has called us men to be His hands and feet and to be Godly husbands and fathers. He wants us to be humble before Him and to be Godly examples to others. We are the light in this dark world that will lead the lost to Him. He commanded us to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel and to make disciples". We all are called to do that. But to be used by Him, we must be the men that He has called us to be. Put Him first, be Godly loving husbands and fathers and be examples that others can follow to the foot of the cross.
Are you the man that God has called you to be? If not, then what are you going to do about it?
