Rescue Me

What do women want? I think that deep within the heart of the average woman is the desire for a hero; a brave, dashing man who she could adore, who would sweep her off her feet with his love. This is the kind of man who would walk across broken glass for her, who would cherish and protect her, one who would call her beautiful and treat her accordingly.

And yet, most men we meet are pretty disappointing. Something has taken the dashing-ness out of today's man, instead, people want him to be tame. Many men do not treasure nor cherish the women in their life; they are more likely to use, abuse, or abandon them.

Did you know, however, that most women have missed their hero? A strong, brave man, who has gave up his life to win their heart? A man who tenderly cares for and empowers women to be all they can be? This man is Jesus! In Him I have discovered everything I need. He has rescued me from hell, and fights for me so that I can be all I was designed to be. His friendship and love never leave me. I am happy to serve him as my heavenly Master, and he graciously gives me all I need and more. Most of all, his love for me never ever dies, even when I let him down.

God calls men everywhere to imitate Jesus, which is what it means to be real hero. Men who are husbands, as well as those who are not, are called to be heroes to the women around them. They are called to represent and set an example of Christ to the women in their lives, and to treat them as Jesus treats them.

So, men, if you want a princess to rescue, look around you. Be a hero, just like Jesus, to the women in your life, and watch them be set free to be the beautiful, graceful, world-shaking women God has called them to be!
