99.9 percent of the those around you will see you, talk to you, be around you and have no idea that inside you “feel” broken

Honestly, men like me, don’t believe that we are allowed to be.

They see exhaustion but brokenness is unnoticed
They see frustrations but brokenness is unnoticed
They see the external fight but the internal battles that have lead to brokenness is unnoticed
They see the encouragement of others but men like me are many times still discouraged because we believe it’s “right” to conceal brokenness

You tell a man like me to ”hang in there” ”stay strong” without noticing that these surface level cliches are no match for the brokenness!

And a man like me will keep going until broken becomes more broken and that broken breaks again….I smile at the thought of that because….

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3)

Yes I smile, because a man like me will always fall on to a foundation of Faith!

A man like me will believe that the process of brokenness is the preparation of rebuilding.

A man like me believes that a merger of our failures, life’s disappointments, constant uncertainties and chaotic circumstances is recipe for the greatest victories we will ever experience.

A man like me, are many men that refuse to admit that they are mentally, physically, emotionally exhausted yet wake up and still push forward in wait of God’s strength that WILL come.

Hey, Man like me! Pray Today. Pray Now!
Trust God for your deliverance.
Believe God’s Grace is sufficient for you
Understand that God’s Mercy never abandoned you
Declare God’s Blessing will manifest in your life

And…
Keep Pushing, because men like me can look like we’re losing, all the while knowing we’re about to see victory!

Be Encouraged
