Nice is not the right word to describe God. Internally loving, surpassingly gracious, aboundingly kind perhaps, but He’s no nice guy. He doesn’t pass over something that isn’t right because He doesn’t want to be uncomfortable. He doesn’t fail to speak up when something He sees is sub-par. He isn’t a weak leader. If you read the Bible. You know that one book, Jesus smashed people. The Pharisees, His own disciples, people He just met, even His own family. And yet he loved each of them more than anyone ever had or could. By speaking truth he cared more about them than Himself. How often do we not step up and do the right thing because it’s not comfortable for us? Men, we need to start being men. We need to stop being nice guys and start being men of God. Loving, leading, strong. Every man and woman is called to be like Jesus, and that means the “nice” and the “not so nice” parts of Jesus. We need to quite ignoring parts of the Bible. We need to quit ignoring parts of Jesus. That means we need to love more over everything, but a part of loving is calling out, addressing the wrong, rebuking to get biblical. I am a recovering nice guy. Turning into a man of God. Help me Jesus.
