My community means the world to me, so to be a little different (which is me), I let them take the reigns on describing myself to the readers. They know the real me, and choose to constantly speak life to who Papa says I am. These words are too much too handle sometimes, and the love and encouragement they provide energize my daily walk. Somedays I don’t believe them, and thats when I need them the most. So here you go:
“You’re a man who wants to live every day embracing the Fathers love and pouring It out.”
“Ben is infectious.”
“A man whose words bring the Lord’s healing, and calms even the craziest of storms in other’s lives.”
“Bold, loving, and kind. Honest and wise. Protective and loyal. Goofy and ridiculous-like really goofy and ridiculous.”
“He prays, weeps, and worships humbly before our Heavenly Father. It is evident in the way he carries himself.”
“It was in him and the other men on our team that I witnessed what the heart of a man caught in love with Jesus could look like.”
“One who lives courageously for the Kingdom.”
“Behind the mask that shows up sometimes, lies a beautiful and tender heart that just wants to love people.”
“Unwaveringly passionate. His passion and love for the Lord run bone-deep.”
“Above everything else, and even in his failures, he just wants to love Jesus at the core of who he is.”
“A man that loves to dance. And loves to dream big.”
“The first thing I noticed was that he was that he 6’6” and intimidating. That was until watching him love on the “unlovable” and cry with the hurting. To this day he will cry at the realization of how much the Father loves him, and I think that is manhood to his core.”
“You have been absolutely wrecked by the freedom, redemption, love and healing of Jesus and your deepest desire is to see others experience Him in the same way.”
“His heart for the sick, addicts, hurting, and outcasts really disarmed me. I figured he was more of a jerk, until I saw what was really underneath when he chose to show it.”
“He walks into a room, and the room is his. The whole atmosphere changes. The darkness there seems to flee. People are captivated by him, and drawn to him. His love for people’s stories and ability to listen always disarms me.”
Praise the Lord for brothers and sisters that see what He sees in me. Even when I fail, and fail I do, I hold tight to these precious words. The Lord’s goodness truly does follow me and sustain me. He is worthy of all I am.
