What’s Wrong with Me Looking Good?

Jennifred Jones

Most of the women I read about in God’s word were beautiful women. God made them – so it must be okay with Him.  Even the men were made strong and handsome.

Job 42 says of his 3 daughters, “There were none found so fair in all the land as Job’s daughters.” Incidentally, one of them was named Jemimah – remember Aunt Jemimah? Good things 🙂

I believe God wants his human beings to take time for themselves to look good, to put on a good face, to be attractive not only for themselves but for the world to notice. To let the beauty of God’s human creation show!

I’m not talking looking sexy, save that for your spouse. (That also is part of God’s design). But taking time for our more public appearance – man or woman – is part of our responsibility. Casual is okay, but why choose sloppy?

Plus, when we take care of ourselves we feel better!

Let’s start out this new week looking good!

Men!

Today we’re going to talk about the men!

Why? ‘You are a woman!’ (I am, a woman- the writer)

We need men! Men out there, we need you!! Every one of you!!!

Without men, there would be no women. (and without women there would be no men)

But today is about our men! Amen to that!

We are all strong and have good ideas and capabilities, but each of our two genders are unique. Men have a different physique, a different mindset, way of thinking, planning, doing. They have a determination to see things through to the finish at all costs – even their own lives if need be. They are the protectors of their family and community. They know how to lead, guide, fight, hold steady and gently encourage, or stand strong with an iron will. They are good at reasoning together and coming to workable solutions.

‘Lady, I don’t know these men! Do they exist? Could I be one?’ If you’re a man, then yes! And be a good one. No shame in being a man. We need you to stand unashamedly strong!

I said it and I meant it. I am a mature woman and grandmother with lots of brothers, uncles, sons, friends in my life and I happen to like men. They are funny, goofy at times, strong, loving, stern, handsome, direct, caring, sometimes quiet, but they are men! And I thank God for them!

None of us are perfect – men or women. But we are trying to aim at being better!

Let’s not degrade ourselves or others or let them degrade us.

Be the man God made you to be. He will bless you. He will help you. He will strengthen you. He will encourage you and help you move ahead in your life. He is for you!

And so am I!

God bless every one of you men reading this today. Be encouraged!
