New wineskins

You cannot pour new wine into old wineskins. Jesus is making all things new again. He is pouring new wine into new wineskins. He is getting rid of everything that is damaging, everything that does not edify in my life or make things better for me. Getting rid of old ideas, old people, things that do not uplift. There is a resurrection happening, in the spirit. He is completely shedding me of all things that did not help me, all things which sought to ruin me, all things that did not bring joy but sadness. We cannot worry about others and how they treat people. They want to adapt to the american dream as if that is reality. What happens when they reach 53 to realize that it was all for nothing and that all of their life was just wasted before their very eyes with nothing to show for eternity? So they got a big house with 2 cars and 3 children who became doctors, but life is so much more than that. Money is a tool, and it is a very useful resource, however, the american dream is not reality. It is a facade, something to do to just pass through life. Through Jesus we can have something of eternal value, something that when we get to heaven, we will be rewarded for. Something that is weighty in substance. God Bless Him!
He is awesome and amazing, full of goodness and love. Forever, Praise His name!
