There's this thing about old stuff. Old places, wine, stories... They just seem to fascinate me sometimes. I'm sure I'm definitely not the only one. Sometimes, just going to a place you used to live can stair up the best feelings in you. This familiar feeling we feel is calm and welcoming. As the saying goes, "east or west, home is the best." Somehow, I can never take off my shoes until I'm home. 😊
Not every old place however is a safe haven. There are evils from our past that haunt us; things we've experienced that have left us scared. There are places I have resolved to never step foot again into!
That's almost always a great thing. As much as I'm an advocate for facing your fears head-on, I see no reason in doing so if the threat is within you - you own passions and lusts. You can't fight yourself, you'll always lose.
RUN!!!
Every person, place, animal, thing, or idea (did I just define a noun???) that makes you go back to your sinful nature, flee from that entity!!! No matter how welcoming, usual, fun, or cool it feels, you soul is worth much more!
Who you were a minute ago does not have to be who you are now.
Redefine you.
