There was a big hole on my dress and it became bigger and bigger over time. So I decided to sew it back together. However because the material was weak and not stretchable, as I pulled a little, a new hole formed on the fabric. Our old selves are weak, and our sins are like the big hole, as we tried to fix it by ourselves without open minds nor being flexible to God's callings, eventually the hole or more sins will come back into our lives. Let us make ourselves stretchable and flexible for God so that He can fix and transform us into whatever ways He wants. 

Matthew 9:16-17
No one patches an old garment with unshrunk cloth, because the patch pulls away from the garment and makes the tear worse. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Let us become the stretchable garments  and new wineskins so that we will not be torn. So that those  blessings will not leak nor apart from us. How? Just stick with Him and He will transform us.

2 Corinthians 5:17
 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!

最近我件衫穿了一個洞,還變得越來大,於是我決定用針線縫起來。但因為物料沒有彈性而且很薄,隨便一扯,新洞就在接駁位出現。我們的舊我很軟弱,而我們的罪就好似一個洞,如果靠自己處理,沒有向上帝的指示抱有開放態度跟靈活運用,我們靈性上的洞或者罪就會隨時回到生命裏面,甚至變得更嚴重。希望我們都可向上帝開放我們嘅心,在靈性上變得更加靈活有彈性。

馬 太 福 音 9:16-17
沒 有 人 把 新 布 補 在 舊 衣 服 上 ;因 為 所 補 上 的 反 帶 壞 了 那 衣 服 ,破 的 就 更 大 了 。 也 沒 有 人 把 新 酒 裝 在 舊 皮 袋 裡 ;若 是 這 樣 ,皮 袋 就 裂 開 ,酒 漏 出 來 ,連 皮 袋 也 壞 了 。 惟 獨 把 新 酒 裝 在 新 皮 袋 裡 ,兩 樣 就 都 保 全 了 。

希望我們能夠成為有彈性堅韌嘅布料或者皮袋,使上帝給我們的祝福不會跟我們的生命分裂,亦都不會漏走。可以怎樣做?黏着上帝,祂自然會教你同改變你,使你脫胎換骨。

哥林多後書 5:17
 若有人在基督裏,他就是新造的人,舊事已過,都變成新的了。
