“Here are a few important principles to remember with regard to the giving and receiving between males and females. When a male demands, a female reacts; she doesn’t respond. When a male gives, a female responds. When a male commits, a female submits. Nothing is more precious to a female than a committed male. Nothing is no more depressing to a female than an uncommitted male. Here’s the secret, guys: If you want a submitted female, be a committed male. It’s that simple. When a male abuses, a female refuses. Whenever a man abuses a woman, she refuses to respond. When a male shares, a female cares. If you find a man who is willing to share with the woman in his life, you will find a woman who is willing to care for her man. When a male leads, a female follows. When a man carries out his God-given responsibility for leadership, a woman responds by following his lead. Leadership does not mean being bossy, always telling others what to do. No, leadership means going ahead, not putting others in the front. Good leaders lead by example, not by decree. Jesus led by example, and so did Moses, Peter, Paul, and all the other great leaders in the Bible. Leading by example means doing ourselves the things we wish others to do.”
― Myles Munroe, The Purpose and Power of Love & Marriage
Such was his wisdom. A man grounded in God’s ways…filled to the brim, not by pride arrogance from all the wealth he possessed, but with the need to be right with God that beyond him he reached out to us. He indeed was a blessing.
He has gone to be with the Lord. A mixture of joy for his ascension to heaven, and a tinge of sadness as I had just begun studying his works which are indeed inspiring and checking. There is consolation when I think of his life as I “saw it” in his ministry…he can say “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith (2Timothy 4:7). Not many of us can live the life he lived and it is just as well for we each walk a designated path. However, we all have the opportunity to say “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”. May God rest his soul in eternal peace.
