New Every Morning
Yea, “new every morning,” though we may awake,
Our hearts with old sorrow beginning to ache;
With old work unfinished when night stayed our hand

With old care still pressing, to fret and to vex,
With new problems rising, our minds

Jesus didn't come to burden us with a list of rules and regulations and things that holy people do and don't do. Oh, he still calls us to be holy but not according to some manmade list: don't drink, don't ever go into a bar or a pub, don't go to movies, don't play cards, don't wear this clothing,

YOU PUT THE DEVIL OUT, BUT DID YOU LET HIM LEAVE HIS BAGS?
You got out of a bad relationship because it was bad, but you are still resentful and angry.
