Giving and
Receiving | Comparison of Men and Women
Men and women are driven by different parameters
in their approach to issues in everyday life. While men function more on the
logical side, and taking most of things for granted; but women function more on
the emotional side, and they make things that are ordinarily simple to be very
complicated. They are both designed differently but work together for the
common good of mankind. A man was created; but a woman was made out of the man.
The making of a woman was in response to God’s ultimate assessment that man
should not live alone.
Genesis 2:18 – “And
the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make
him a helper comparable to him”.
In this article, we want to explore a rich quotation
from the book “The Purpose and Power of
Love and Marriage”; by Dr. Myles Munroe OBE, on the principles and
parameters that drive ‘giving and receiving
between males and females’.
The Quote:
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.
Men lead by example; and women will follow!
Men be committed; and women will submit!
