Pruning has a purpose.

MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️

I’m MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️: sitting on the porch having my coffee when the power company and Asplundh drive up. I ask them what they’re doing.

“We’re marking trees that we need to cut back this afternoon so they don’t interfere with the power lines.”

Interesting.

Have you ever felt pruned? Like something was cut away that you really loved or wanted to hold on to?

We know God prunes. John 15 says that every branch that doesn’t produce fruit gets taken away and every branch that does produce fruit gets pruned so it can produce more.

This morning was a great reminder for me as we are in a pruning season….that sometimes, branches need to be removed or cut back so they don’t interfere with the “power line.”

What may feel painful for a moment has purpose for the long haul.
