Papa Prune Me

Reflecting: God doesn't waste time pruning a dead branch. The whole purpose of pruning is to remove the obstructions that are preventing the plant from growing into it's healthiest strongest self. You better believe if the process of snipping away at things in life is hurting you, you are considered worthy by Him. Pruning often takes away that which blended in with your healthy parts, especially that which you never even realized was harming you. It's up to us if we are going to let that draw us nearer to Him or pull us away from Him. It is only in Him we remain alive.Jesus, the True Vine 15:1“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. 5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
