The NEW

"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse.  Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins.  If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.  No they pour new wine into the new wineskins, and both are preserved."  (Mathew 9:16-17)

While in the process of searching and establishing the NEW in our lives we need to understand the importance of renewing ourselves to be able to welcome, host, and preserve the  new in our lives.  At times it requires a process of mutation/change, and this can be painful.  Whatever our old patterns are beneficial and adaptive or maladaptive, we are so used to them that we prefer to just stay there instead of embarking in the process of change.  Change requires a courageous decision not intent.  You can do it, one step at a time.  I assure you that God will be giving you strength every step of the way, no matter the size of your steps, just be consistent.
