Pruning

"Every branch in me (Jesus) that does not bear fruit he (God) takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he (God) prunes, that it may bear more fruit." John 15:2 

Pruning is the act of cutting off parts in order to improve the whole. When plants are pruned, the ugly that was hidden under the fruit and flowers is revealed. Over time, the plant recovers, grows, and is healthier and more fruitful than before. The same goes for us. When we are serious about living for Christ, God may prune us of people, activities, jobs, or anything else that is hindering our growth. Instead of resisting, we should endure that season to reveal our best self. Happy Friday! 

"May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy" Colossians 1:11
