"If you keep trying to pour your new self into your old situations, something is going to burst."- WesleyneWord of the DayNo one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins; and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.-Mark 2:22SummaryWhen you’re working on becoming a new version of yourself, it’s crucial to understand that trying to pour that new self into old situations just won’t work.Have you ever felt like you were making progress, only to find yourself slipping back into old habits or environments? If you keep going back to the same relationships or places that hold you back, all that hard work you’ve done on yourself can break.As you heal and grow, you deserve to be in new spaces, surrounded by new people who uplift you and understand your journey. So, I encourage you to embrace the new wine God has poured into you.
