2. Take inventory of the men in your life who you would call “tender hearted,” and write down the specific characteristics of those men who are tender. Learn from them and emulate them in ways that begin to change your actions, habits, routines, and even thought patterns. 3. Ask God to help you spot specific areas in life where you can be his ambassador, particularly in the areas of justice, kindness, and humility. Then follow through with the Spirit’s promptings to pursue those areas and change your heart/actions. Search Me, O God For introspection during the coming week. As you read through the gospels and study how Jesus interacted with the people in his life, where are you able to see specific interactions and scenarios when he was tender hearted and humble? Knowing that God has given you his Holy Spirit—the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead— pray that God would begin to shape you more and more into the image of Jesus by becoming a more tender hearted and humble man. It may start with something as simple as the way you speak to your wife and kids, or an adjustment of attitude about your job and your boss. How can the Spirit of God transform you in ways that you are able to imitate the Son of God in what you say, do, think, and give? How can he specifically use you to be his ambassador right where he has placed you at work, in your neighborhood, in your children’s school, etc.?
