Locs were something as a kid I wasn't technically allowed to have and although I was upset as a kid for not being able to have them, I see why now. They require MATURITY. See in the vear and half I had Freeforms (not shown) to the moment I had my locs reconstructed to the process that's been now (coming up on 2 years now) I've seen endless growth in myself, and that's all thanks to God's Spirit. Old addictions & habits fell to the wayside, being replaced by an endless pursuit of our Savior Jesus Christ & Holiness at the forefront. I thought I would always be a slave to certain things, but 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 taught me to win the battle in my mind & Galatians 5:1 reiterated the truth that since we are free, we are not to be burdened again by a yoke of slavery (regarding sin) 1 am a much better man, not in the terms of charity and good merit and the fact that I "do" enough good things, but because through submission to the will of God I've seen Him bend my desires in ways I never imagined and seen the infinite benefit it's had on my life. My locs have grown with me, my locs have been beaten up with me, and just as I learned more & more how to take care of them, and my hair became healthier, I learned how to take care of myself more as well. The man you see today is a much more confident David. A David who is secure in His identity as a God-Fearing man, who is pursuing His purpose endlessly for the Glory of His Father. I don't need approval from any person to tell me l'm something or that I'm meaningful, that's what Jesus was for. Have a beautiful day I love you all God bless❤️ #fypシ #christian #locs #locjourney #blackhair #blackhairstyles #dreads #dreadslocks #dreadstyles #hairjourney #spiritualjourney #growth #bible #Jesus #God #christian #believer #encouragement #hairgrowth
