Do you know when to be strong and when to be gentle?

Knowing when to be strong and when to be gentle: Stu Weber, football player and Vietnam veteran wrote a powerful book called “Tender Warrior”. The basic take away for me was the importance of knowing when to be strong and when to be tender. Men are to be the defender and protector of the family unit which calls for strength against those who threaten it. We are to be kind, gentle and caring toward our spouse and children. It is problematic when a man is tender (wimpy) to the outside world and rough with the ones in the home. God is tender toward us as our Father and powerful to protect us from evil helps us live in proper balance.
