I remembered something today, during my quiet time, that I heard Robert Lewis explain at Men's Fraternity (A leadership training thing for men who want to be real Men). He said a real man is a man who is willing to:
Reject Passivity
Accept Responsibility
Lead Courageously, and
Expect the greater reward (God's reward).
It struck me today that I am not fulfilling the requirements of a real man. I thought I was doing fine; I was saying the right things, having a daily time with Jesus, and I have a job and go to school. But where am I leading? Where exactly am I stepping out of comfort zone for Jesus? I am adding a new goal to my goals/resolutions for the year of 2009. This year I am going to get uncomfortable for Jesus. I'm going to start by going to a new church (on time) this week, and I am going to try to be as actively involved as I can be. I want to be a man after God's own heart so that when people look at me they see Jesus first.
