A STRONG MAN VERSUS A MAN OF STRENGTH


A Strong Man isn't afraid of anything...
But a Man of Strength shows courage in the midst of his fear.

A Strong Man won't let anyone get the best of him...
But a Man of Strength gives the best of his to everyone...

A Strong Man makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...
But a Man of Strength realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings an capitalizes on them...

A Strong Man wears a look of confidence on his face...
But a Man of Strength wears courage.

A Strong Man has faith that he is strong enough for the journey..
But a Man of Strength has faith that it is in the journey that he will become strong.

A Strong Man works out everyday to keep his body in shape....
But a Man of Strength builds relationship to keep his soul in shape.

A Strong Man tangibly shows and proves his masochism through responding to a sensation...
But a Man of Strength strives his best to resist temptation.


Got this inspiring line from a book that I borrowed (and refused to return it back) since its all about Compendium..among the collections I read from the book is this A Strong Man versus A Man of Strength.
What is the difference between being a Strong Man and a Man of Strength? I guess the two has distinctive separated characteristics..
We consider ourselves strong because we believe we are ,yet,it was only a form of defensing ourselves so as we don't want to be called as weak.
However, we failed to be a Man of Strength because we refused to recognize our weaknesses nor accepting our errors but pushing ourselves to believe that we are.
It is God who makes us strong and who gives us the strength just to be the both.
There's nothing wrong being a Strong Man so as a Man of Srength...what if we combined the two? can we be a Strong Man just as a Man of Srength?
I think the two should go together, they are parallel depending on how you claim yourself and share it to what it is.
