For some time now I have been doing some soul searching.  It hurts, and though I will continue that search, I feel as though I found something:

“Some men come to restore.” (Madea’s Family Reunion)  A powerful and life changing statement.  It is not a statement of arrogance, but of purpose.  It is not a cliche, but a challenge.  It is not who I am, but it is at the core of who I long to be.

To be a man who, overwhelmed by God’s ever deepening love for me despite my imperfections, finds my self-seeking nature overthrown by love for my fellow man.  To love unconditionally, to forgive implicitly, and to seek the restoration of mankind to God The Father.
