How Does Your Identity Differ from All Others?

Recently, an interviewer asked me what I thought about men expressing their feminine side. When I asked what he meant, the man responded by stating his belief that most men were sensitive and had tender feelings but that this fact did not negate their masculinity.

In truth, every man has some feminine traits, but they are not dominant. Women have some masculine traits, but they are not dominant. Molly, a friend from childhood, loved to play sports with the boys, but she was very much a girl in ways that were undeniable.

Genesis confirms that God created man and woman in his image. He gave both the capacity to love, to be sensitive to each other, to have fun and enjoy each other. In God’s perspective there is “neither male nor female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus". We all have equal standing before him. He created us for each other and for himself and in his own image, which is a wonderful thought.

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.

~Ephesians 5:1-2 New Living Translation
