Wild at Heart

John Eldredge's, Wild at Heart, writes about the discovering of a man's soul. In the book he tells a story of a lion he experiences at the zoo by his home. He talks about the sadness he sees in the lion because it does not belong in a cage. Rather he talks about the lion's rightful place as ruling over other animals, chasing down gazelle, striking fear into the animals. This was not just to talk about lion's as impressive animals and creations of God. It is to say that, men should take their rightful place in the world. As leaders of the family. Men belong not leading with an iron fist. Rather with a loving and firm fist. Men of the world cannot end up like the lion stuck in the zoo, not being able to be the beautiful creation it was designed to be. Men are to be bold, loving, fierce, and faithful. Men need to lead with these qualities as they were designed to do. Men cannot just stay in a cage and allow his talents to be diminished by a cage. Men need to break free, the thing is, they are already free. Men just need accept the freedom the were given by God through Christ! Christ set men free and gave them a example of Himself for men to follow. Men have an obligation that needs to be filled in order for the Christian Church to grow and thrive in this world. The have the ability to do this, they just need to use it as it was intended for them to use it.
