@markchironna Perfectly said. Lately, I’ve been feeling off about a purpose God had put upon my heart. Today, I sat in deep stillness and listened. I didn’t pray. Just listened for God. I was not dwelling in authenticity but pushing my desires and not God’s will for me.
@markchironna This is truth. I had an encounter with God, my ego bowed. The next year was the dark night where there was an unsettling stillness before the peace took hold. I literally sat there in stillness as falsity of the ego and world fell away. Christ is King!
He is not broken.
He is working the wrong problem.
A broken man needs to be fixed.
A man working the wrong problem needs to find the honest question.
Those are completely different situations.
They require completely different things.
@PaulaSeeksTruth I think and write about this a lot. Good men by nature believe others are operating in good faith, and once they realize that is not the case, they become embittered. And if that is not checked, then they start to hate.
The culture didn't just attack men.
It handed them a set of dishonest questions and told them the questions were fact.
A man can work a wrong question for thirty years and never find his way out.
Because the question itself is the trap.
What question were you handed that was never actually yours?
If any part of that sounds familiar.
The going quiet.
The slow dimming.
That feeling that the man you used to be is still in there somewhere.
When did you first notice the light going out?
I woke up knowing I was supposed to build something for men.
The thing I would have bought at thirty if anyone had been offering it.
Nobody was.
So I built it.
