We’re Cheering For You, Men!

Title: We’re Cheering For You, Men!

Description: In a race, the expectations and weight placed upon a runner to perform is huge. But have you also noticed how a simple cheer can boost morale and help the runner re-focus his efforts to strive for the goal?

In a similar way, a simple encouragement can make a huge difference to the men around us. We expect much from the men in our lives but we may find it awkward to affirm them for their efforts.

Maybe it’s because we are convinced that their contributions are to be expected, or we shrink back because our affirmations are not warmly received, or we aren’t sure what’s the best way to encourage them.

So, we’re going to try and do that for the men in our lives today on International Men’s Day.

God has called them to fulfil certain potentials in their lives, in their relationships, and in where He has placed them in. Our part is to help them along so that they’re able to bless all of us in a way that God has uniquely set them apart to do.
