Hello Everyone,
My neighbor next door works constantly in her yard. She loves to spend time in her garden and flowers. During the fall and early spring she is usually busy pruning. While she prunes, there are two things that are observed. First, all dead wood must be removed; and second, the live wood must be cut back. Dead wood harbors insects and disease and may cause the plant to rot, become unproductive and unsightly. Live wood must be trimmed back in order to prevent such heavy growth that the life of the vine goes into the wood rather than into fruit.
A rose garden in the early spring look like a collection of barren stumps. But in the summer and fall they are filled with beautiful roses. Often, God cuts dead wood out from among His saints, and cuts back the living wood so far that His method may seem cruel. Nevertheless, from those who have suffered the most there often comes the greatest fruitfulness.
Jesus tell us of this in John 15:1,2,
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."
Remember Always, "God does all things well."
Until Jesus Comes
