Pruning

In John 15:2….. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

Pruning means: To cut off or remove dead or living parts or branches of (a plant, for example) to improve shape or growth. If you are finding yourself in the season of being pruned it is not because God is trying to punish you it is for you good. He wants us to produce so whatever is dead in our lives He will remove which can be habits, relationships, friends and yes even family, whatever is dead in our lives that is not producing God is cutting it away and according to scripture he even cuts away some things we may consider good in our lives in order for us to produce more. The purpose of pruning is guide a plant into healthy and productive growth.

I know that pruning hurts but Trust God, He is the Gardner. He wants to guide us into healthy and productive growth in our lives. He knows best. Keep in mind in order for us to reap the benefits of Him pruning us we have to be in HIM, He said every branch in Me!!
God Bless!!
