A male was created by God
according to His image, especially God's masculine side. Masculinity of God instills
three unique desires in the heart of all man which also have become their
calling. The first desire of man based on the masculinity of God is the desire
to fight in a battle where we have the fighting spirit. The desire to fight
gives the idea of not easily giving up such that we keep on fighting. The
second desire of man is the desire to adventure where we tend to explore new
things and ideas. This spirit of adventure gives the idea of a risk-taker where
we are brave to step out from our comfort zone. The last desire of a man based
on the masculinity of God is a beauty to protect, where it shows our heroic spirit
fighting for other people, especially for those who are weaker such as the
female.
In the world today, men tend to
neglect and slowly lost the desire for God’s masculinity; moreover, this problem
is especially caused by the wrong worldview. This causes many of them today to
walk in the wrong path where abnormalities occur such as homosexuals; moreover,
when referred to the desires of man based on the masculinity of God, the men
today does not fight for the battle, being too sensitive and easily giving up. People
also tend to be lazy of adventuring and prefer staying in the room or the
comfort zone. Then, most people today do not show a beauty to protect, but
rather being selfish and self-centered.
Men in the world today should
study and read the word of God so that they may understand God's calling for
masculinity. They should understand that everyone is born normal and was created
by God according to His image; therefore, should be able to follow the path of
God. We can see how God himself have the masculine desire to fight in a battle,
the idea of never giving up, such that although he knows that human being may
have gone astray, God never gives up in loving and always trying leading us
human being back to the righteous path. God also have the desire to adventure, the
idea of a risk-taker, such that He took the risk to give human being freewill
to choose their own way of life even though God knows that there is a big risk
of men choosing the wrong way. Then, God also shows us His beauty to protect by
being the one who always fights for those who have faith in Him. This is proven
in Deuteronomy 20: 4 where it says that God is always with us to fight for us against
our enemies.
As a personal application, as I
was small, the three masculinity of God was clearly and physically expressed in
me, but now as I have grown, my childhood desires slowly fades away;
furthermore, I have been locking myself in the room and working with my
computers. After meditating on the masculinity of God, I realize that it does
not have to be physically expressed. I could still show the masculinity of God
through my computer skills. Firstly, when I face computer problems, I never
easily give up in finding the solution for that particular problem; this
expresses my desire to fight in a battle of finding a solution to my problems.
Second, when I have a free time, I use my free time to browse the internet
looking for new programs, updates, and upgrades; this expresses the second
masculinity of God where I desire to adventure in the world of technology
searching for new things. Finally, rather than using my computer skills only
for my own benefit or doing unbeneficial things such as playing games, I could help
other people to solve their computer problems. By doing this, I express the third
masculinity of God where I fight for other's to solve their problems.
As a conclusion, God have created
man according to His image, especially on the side of masculinity. He have
instill three main desires in man which are the desire to fight, the desire to
adventure, and the desire to protect others; however, these desire does not
necessarily have to be expressed physically since the desires show the ideas of
never giving up, risk-taker, and helping others, respectively. In the modern
world today man tends to have the wrong worldview causing the desire, based on
the masculinity of God, to slowly fade away and leading to abnormality. Everyone
was created well by God according to his purpose such that no one was created
abnormal. We are created in the image of God; therefore, we should also follow
God's masculinity that he has as well shown to us. Studying the Word of God is
always necessary to follow the righteous path of God; in this case, the
masculinity of God.
