In Ephesians 5:27 ,Jesus said to relate His role with the church ,with that of a husband toward a wife.Jesus says that He will purify His bride so that she is without spot or wrinkle.The husbands work is to produce purity and to love his wife.A man, much like God is to work ,to create with his hands.In the hebrew , the word picture for man describes a man or husband as one whose hand is in the the midst of the fire.Now talk to me ,who is it that purifies by working in the fire?...Yep!A goldsmith , a silversmith ...Very good!What is it that comes out of the fire? Gold!Silver!...uh huh! If what comes out is dross and confusion instead of gold and silver -do we blame the gold?How many husbands today blame their wives for what God has said is their responsibility?But what really does the work?The fire!But there are two types of fire...The fire of chaos (Shame, blame and guilt)Anytime someone tries to use shame, blame or guilt to purify fix me it does not bring out the best in my character.The second one is the fire of the Prince (bless ,lead straight and happiness )Has anybody ever truly valued you?A grandparent, a boss?Something unsual happens whenever a leader thinks more of you than of themselves -we gladly follow!The sheep hear the voice of a good shepherd and follow.They dont have to be forced, they follow with all their heart!....Love, CYCY.....#strength of a man#
