MAN

Man! What happened to you? Where are you hiding? Come out! It is ok! You can be who you are and learn from your mistakes. You are human. You are a spiritual man in a natural body, built to serve the spirit man in you. Stand in the mirror, what do you see? Who do you see? Is he fine on the outside and ugly on the inside? Is he ugly on the outside and fine on the inside? Is he hiding behind a false strength to protect himself from society who says you are weak for being the real you? Or, is he hiding his strength to protect himself from being the man he was created to be for fear society may see HIM as weak? Are you strong and are afraid to show your weakness for fear that society may see you as a pushover, a girl, or weak? What are your fears?

Oh Man! Come out of that HIDING PLACE and learn to be hurt so you can be built up as a stronger man.
Oh Man! Come out of that hiding place and teach those men who talk about you how to stand as a MAN.
Oh Man! Come out of that hiding place and look to the sky and trust GOD to show you who you really are so you can be FREE.
Oh Man! Come out of that hiding place and walk with your head up high knowing you have overcome some CRAZY STUFF, and done some CRAZY STUFF in your life.
Oh Man! Come out of that hiding place and allow GOD to show you how to make your enemies your footstool.
Oh Man! Come out of that hiding place, YOU ARE RAISING YOUR LITTLE BOYS TO BE COWARDS AND YOUR LITTLE GIRLS TO DATE COWARDS.

Oh Man! Now that you have COME OUT of your hiding place, STAND UP STRAIGHT, FACE THE ENEMY OF SELF, FACE YOUR ENEMIES, let your TONGUE be yielded to GOD, to SPEAK to those FEARS.
