you are powerful.
You are so powerful and you don't even know it.
I'm sorry that the world we are living in has made you out to be an uncontrollable sexual beast who can't restrain himself.
I'm sorry that the feminist movement has erased you and your voice from the conversation to make us feel more powerful and heard.
I'm sorry that there are some men out there who take and use and dilapidate the truth of masculinity leaving you to be put into a stereotypical box of "animal".
But you have a choice.
You have the power to break hearts without knowing whose hearts you've broken.
However, you also have a beautifully gentle power. You are capable of healing hearts by your protection, by your true masculinity, by your strength and by your love.
You have the power to break families apart by leaving to "find yourself".
However, your presence has the power of making us feel safe in a world that tells us to stand up for ourselves and be independent of anyone and anything.
You have the power to make a woman feel like an object of lust and use her until you have no more use for her.
However, you also have compassionate power to reveal our own femininity back to us when the world has drown it out. When other men have powerfully taken it away from us.
You have the power to shatter us into a thousand irredeemable pieces and never even know it.
However, you have this indomitable power and strength to quietly and subtly protect us from ourselves and from the Father of Lies who so often gets inside our minds by the touch of your hand.
You have this power because the God of the Universe came down in the form of a man. Taking on our flesh to model for us how to protect, heal, love and remind us of our genuine identity.
He came into a broken world and healed it by stretching out His arms and showing us what love looks like.
I don't think you are told this enough, so as your sister I want to remind you:
You have the magnificent, breathtaking and awe-inspiring power to change the world...
because it has changed mine.
