As a man among men he leads by example and not by that which is the social norm of the day. When he falls short of his earthly goals, he sincerely asks for GODs forgiveness, then forgives himself and proceeds to work hard to not make that error again.
King Solomon said "There is not a righteous man that never sins." All men stumble and make mistakes, just get up facing the right direction. Take responsibility for your actions and learn from your mistakes.A true man stands for something and does not fall for just anything that comes his way. He embraces his purpose for living and lives out his purpose with passion. He's the mail man, the garbage man, the janitor, the teacher, the councelor, the fireman, the policeman. He is any and every man that will answer to the call of greatness and faith on his life. He may not be one who has a doctorate of letters behind his name and is most likely a man of simple means.
He is respectful and respectable. He is a loving son, a helpful brother, a supportive friend, a passionate husband, a super dad, a man who fights the good fight of faith to stay the course of GOD's divine plan for him and his future. He works to resist the worldly temptations of alcohol, sex, drugs and the stinking thinking that he faces every time he opens his eyes to a new day. He holds hard and fast to a belief that he is someone special in the eyes of GOD and his life is a gift to be shared.
He walks daily in the presence of GOD's spirit. He is a man that can't be bought, because he is a man that has been called. He may not be a man of many words or a man with numerous college degrees. He may not be able to quote bible scripture which are always on the tip of his tongue, but he possess the character of wise men. He looks upon another mans wife, daughter, sister, mother as thought they were his own and not persons to be prayed upon with envy and lust. He is a gentleman who recognizes that respecting others even when they are not respectable is what makes him a true man. He is faithful and dutiful in his commitment to his call to always live as a true man.
