Trait # 6
He Will Love God
There is no perfect man; therefore, there is no perfect man of God.
Based on our beliefs, we were born into sin, so we’re going to make mistakes.
We all have a process in our lives where we grow, evolve, and begin to

The first step is to understand the difference between a man who loves
God and struggles with his flesh, versus a man who loves his flesh and
struggles with embracing God.
The man who loves God and struggles with his flesh is no different than
you. He may embrace prayer and the understanding that God wants him to
walk a greater path, as well as be better in the way that he approaches such
things as who he’s to be as a man.
He gives credit to God, he’s aware and can humble himself in the fact of
