Somebody please tell me what God was thinking on the day He created the Male Ego! Please! Who can even define or describe that ever so fragile monster of a thing called the Male Ego? It is such a powerful thing it will cause Men to rush headlong into gunfire to win heroic battles yet it can be crushed by just the wrong glance or frown from the Lady in our life. It really is an amazing thing, and, like all things God creates, its all good.
Somehow, we have developed an idea that being strong is manifested by being aloof and detached with our Families where, somewhat like a Captain in the military, we are able to ration out our logic and reasoning to solve issues even when they are issues of crisis and hurt. However, that is not the best method. Let me explain.
There is no greater soothing agent, healing power, lifting and encouraging action a Man can practice than the strong, secure, comforting physical touch. A Man's strong and warm embrace can do more to solve a Son or Daughter's crisis than ten thousand words passed along from our lofty platform of our throne at home. A strong and secure man is able to stand tall above the hurts and battles of life and effectively communicate to his Family that all is well.
Jesus was the full expression of Father God and He went about doing good and healing ALL who were oppressed of the devil. He is described in Scripture as the Right Hand of God, the Arm of the Lord, etc. which are signs of grace and liberality. The right hand is a revelation of Christ and His ministry of touch. The right hand is indicative of Men, grace, power, generosity and more. When that open hand is used to stroke the face of a Wife or a Daughter to comfort or to affirm, the healing Power of God can be released in ways nothing else could provide.
A secure Man will not entangle himself with personal offense or impatience when his Wife or Family are going through strife or trials but will detach himself, personally, in order to be the strong, sensitive tower of security and a gentle shepherd whose voice and touch calms and stills all of the waves and winds of struggle and distress.
The best way to be 'Da Man' is to come down to our Wife's level, our Children's level, look them in the eye and pull out of their heart and mind every concern and care assuring them your presence and your love for them stabilizes any uncertainty of life and the mattes of life. Don't give them advice and don't give them answers. Don't try to fix them or the situation. Give them your hand. Use your strong hands and arms to give them the security that Christ would if present. Sometimes the hurt doesn't need an answer, it needs a hand - the hand of God incarnate through the strong, caring touch of a godly Man, Husband, Father.
