"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalms 51:10 NIV

"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. And no 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 2:21-22 NIV

The new thing God wants to do in our life will pull at the old us.

1. He Makes Us New

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23

If the enemy can pollute our hearts, everything else in life will be affected.

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26

Tinder hearts make the best … fathers, mothers, grandparents, friends, siblings, sons, and daughters.

It doesn't matter how much you know, but how soft our heart is.

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32 NIV

Reality: Where we are and what is going on.

2. He Fills Us Up

"Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Matthew 20:28 NIV
