Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man

 I’ve heard it all from people: “The sixth sense of a woman is to make our lives impossible.” “Men are just pigs; all they want is sex” “All men are the same” “All women are alike” “Men fall in love for what they see, and women fall in love for what they hear. That is why men lie and women wear make up” “Men are from Mars and women are from Venus…” And I could go on and on about our differences. It seems we are a different specie.

But the major lie society has sold to us is that the primary need of a man is to have sexual relations. In the film Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Steve Harvey suggests that if a woman is capable of holding the benefit package from her partner for at least 90 days, she will have conquer the man and his love for her. Why? Because it seems that men are just after the benefits, and women only want to be truly loved.

Society and Steve Harvey do have a common argument with Scripture: Men and women have needs. However, Scriptures lays it down differently.

“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his BENEFITS (Psalm 103:2).

           1)   Forgives all your sins (verse 3)

           2)   Heals all your diseases (verse 3)

           3)   Redeems your life from the pit (verse 4)

           4)   Crowns you with love and compassion (verse 4)

           5)   Satisfies your desires with good things (verse 5) 

           6)   Renews you like he renews the eagles (verse 5)

Since the Lord is your Creator and engineered every single intimate detail of your being, He knows what your major needs in life are. He, through His constant love and sacrifice, has given you the gift of salvation along with a benefit package. He understands the number one need you have in life: Forgiveness of sins. But he doesn’t just want to cleanse you, He wants to heal you, deliver you, love you with the love you have ALWAYS been looking for in a relationship, satisfy the desires of your heart, and give you a fresh new start.

So… Today, go on and claim the gift of salvation along with the benefit package the heavens have in store for you. Because it is TODAY that God wants to start to transform your life. Today He wants to give you the benefits with no strings attached. It is today that He wants to give you life, and give it to you abundantly (John 10:10).

Blessings!
