pruning...

"I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful." ~ John 15

Pruning, is the act of cutting off or removing dead or living parts or branches of (a plant, for example) to improve its shape or growth. Like plants that needs to remove a lot of top branches so the interior branches are exposed to the sunlight and bear a lot of fruits in result. So as for the human being, pruning thing needs to be understand by everyone one of us that this is an act of God's most important tools in growing us so we can be fruitful.

But before the fruit, comes the pruning. You maybe are experiencing some difficulties in life or loss right now but this are some cutting back to help us grow. God let some unpleasant things to happens in our life, lovingly removing things that we think we need, things that may be holding us down, holding us back, or holding us captive. The cutbacks are painful..it doesn’t feel good but it is good because God is taking out and subtracting so He can shine on what's left and do what He could have never done if you still had what you've lost.

Pruning is actually God's loving surgery to let His light go deeper into your life than it has ever gone before. You may not enjoy the process. Well, you probably won't enjoy the process, but you and everybody else, is going to love the results!
