So heres the gist;
I have beards. Yeah am hairy like that, just that I don’t like to show myself. So for all those boys using spirit to force the beards out; forming beard gang take a chill pill. . God makes all things beautiful in His time. Tarry here till you are endued…
Ok so every time I start to feel hitching in my jaw line I know its time to get rid of the beards. I remember one time dad saw me shave, he didn’t like the idea. He thinks pulling out the hair is cool and that stops it from growing.
Yeah, brilliant idea,lovely suggestion. But it’s a NO NO. I mean have you ever tried pulling a strand of hair out of any part of your body? That thing is as painful as… I mean it has a mind of its own. One attempt at yanking off a strand is enough to make me hug my shaving stick so tight. life is just easier that way. Did I hear you say waxing? Yes I am considering that option, maybe not, well I might.
From this experience I have learnt a few things.
Many of us have some habits like my beards that I like to hide. (only few people know, not a lot of people are allowed to get that close). We cant tell nobody about it because its embarrassing, shameful, annoying. Some times we beat ourselves over it and organise pity parties, consoling ourselves when no one accepts our invitation to such parties.
At other times those habits give us some days off like (my beards when I just finish shaving). That don’t mean the habit is gone or that you are free. You could be on a break because your partner in the act is away from you, or you changed environment or maybe because you don’t know what is at the end of your letting go. Sooner of later the habit pops up again and you are frustrated and down cast.
Imagine if I just close my eyes for a few seconds to yank off the strands of hair. I would have succesfully dealt with the situation. But I’d rather a temporary situation, that gets worse after each shave.
I have come to realise that prunning is not enjoyable. Infact its difficult, the struggle is real. But you have to let it go. With such habits you cannot bear good fruit and the Bible is clear about it in
Matthew 3vs 10; ‘and now the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. You cannot help yourself. Can’t you see how far self medication has taken you? Deeper in the act. Theres much more goodness on the other end of being prunned. Imagine a Rose garden with thorns around it. Let the habits go. You’d be glad you did. His yoke is light,His burden is easy.
I hope this blesses someone.
