Being Pruned

Lesson learned and understanding seeped in...

John 15:1-2
¹"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. ²He 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.

The past 22 months has been a 'pruning process' from above...
I've always wondered, why did the layoff happened, why did the business failed, why did relationships have to end and most of all why all came one after another?
Like a Rogue Wave that came out of no where... I nearly drowned in a sea of swirls...

God is the Gardener, Jesus the Vine and Christians the branches....
God 'prunes' us so that the dead branches and leaves can be cleared away... making room for
the 'fruitful' branches so that it'll bear more fruit....

The pruning process hurts of cause but its a simple redirection of where God wants us to be in Life... I looked back and saw that if I hadn't gone through what happened in the past 22 months, I would not have gone thru a life transformation. Laundry Love would never have crossed my life and I wouldn't have met so many wonderful people.

The question we should ask ourselves when we are being pruned is.... where in my life can I bear more fruit??? Instead of why this or why that happened....

It's been an awesome journey... Thank You Jesus!!!

Here's a song that's been playing in my head today...
