As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
Okay this message is going out to my male readers, sorry ladies!
Dudes! Why do we always think it is weak to depend on others? Being a guy is tough, (Not as tough as being a girl) but it is still tough! I am reminded everyday of the things this world bombards us with! Sex, Money, Pride in being a ladies man. We are told to be so many things, or not do certain things!

-Real men don't cry.-
-Men don't ask for directions.-
-Men don't read directions.-

We put up this image of who we think we need to be and not who God created us to be.
I am gonna be a little personal! When I was in middle school and early high school I had a porn addiction and it was killing me! My relationships with my family, friends and most importantly God. I was dying, and I wanted to die!
The lies of the world were telling me don't seek help, you can beat this yourself. Bull....crap. I needed one thing and one thing alone, God! God freed me from that lifestyle of addiction! AMEN!
But it did not stop there. I had to set up safe guards! Things like not being on the computer alone after midnight! Another thing I did was find a friend I could trust. Proverbs talked about as iron sharpens Iron so one person sharpens another!

I had an Iron Deficiency!!
Guys we are not alone in our struggles! First and foremost we have God! I think we also need brothers around us, spurring us on!
Chris Maas has been a great friend and my Iron in my struggles throughout life, not just my addiction!
So how bout you? Do you have an Iron Deficiency? Are you being sharpened by God and by others in Christ? You are not alone in your sin and struggles! You don't have to play the macho man!
We are all broken people! But we can be made whole in Christ! So real men can cry, because our heart breaks for what breaks God's heart. Real men seek God for every direction in life! Real men not only ask God for help daily but others as well!
