It's a noble and romantic thought that a man would lay down his life to protect someone he loves. That's a distant thought that very rarely happens. We can speak that thought to give ourselves a momentary pat on the back. Yeah, it's easy to profess a belief in something that will probably never happen. Maybe it would be more noble to take the moment that will never happen and use it as a seed that will grow giving moments that will happen.
It's easy to take a bullet and whisper your last words in a brief moment of painful glory. Can you take the bullets of life and turn them into pearl like jewels that will bless those you love?
Instead of giving up his life, what if the man lived his life in pursuit of more excellent ways to lift the woman into the glory for which God created her? The strange thing about giving up is that it creates more opportunities to receive. If a man gives up his whole heart, soul, mind and strength to that which God has called him to be, then he is blessed by a love that transcends all understanding. The other areas of his life will prosper as well.
If you have been called as a husband and a father, seek to sow the love of the Father in your wife and children. You have been called as a Heart Farmer to sow love that will help other hearts to grow in love. Sometimes you will have to sacrifice when you don't feel like it. Sometimes you will not understand. Mystery is okay. "It's up to a king to conceal a matter." Proverbs 25:2
If you are not married and maybe you are not called to be married, you still need to be a role model for young men and teach them how to honor a woman. Many people carry the scars of woundedness that cause us to view the opposite sex with contempt and treat them vindictively. You need to seek healing. Search your soul for malice regarding the opposite sex. The healing starts with you. You cannot trust others until you trust yourself. Your healing can sow seeds of healing in those around you. Don't punish people in the present for wounds you suffered in the past.
The electricity of current relationships can be short circuited by memories of past power failures.
This is where the healing begins. Go do something nice for somebody.
The name of this plane is: "Jesus is Lord."
