A real man
Dr. Roberto MirandaThe natural inclination of an emotionally healthy man is to be tender and merciful. The man possessed by a healthy sense of personal identity by nature is protective and compassionate. God has made us protectors, he has made us defenders of life. A man who is a predator, an abuser or an oppressor is living a deformed life, outside of his true nature.
The man who has the heart of God and the healthy masculinity of God is a life saver. He covers, defends, stands in front of danger and provides for his own, and blesses them. He takes the food out of his mouth to give it to his wife, to his children. That is a healthy and masculine man. He is not the one who goes around like a male pimp sowing sons left and right, or aggressively imposing his masculinity in the bosom of the home. That is what the world teaches us. But the truly healthy man is merciful and compassionate. Bless the weak; it is thrown on top of the helpless to cover it from the next projectile. That is a healthy man, and that is the nature of Jesus.
