A guy learns to be more loving

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

I’m interested in spirituality. Experiencing the power and presence of God is important to me. The more I’ve learned about God, the more I’ve seen all kinds of problems and situations work out—more health where there was sickness, more order where there was chaos, more abundance where there was lack.

Honestly, though, some of the things I encountered early in my spiritual journey—in books and conversations—didn’t resonate with me.

I wasn’t comfortable with qualities that weren’t traditionally masculine. You might say that I leaned more toward the King Solomon stuff—wisdom, reason, vision, even leadership.
