  • "Does God prune us to grow—or just cut us off? Let’s find out!"
    I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He 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." — John 15:1 through 2
    "Jesus paints a vivid picture: God is the gardener, and we’re the branches. But here’s the twist—whether you’re growing or not, you’re still getting cut! If you’re unfruitful, you’re removed. If you are fruitful, you get pruned!
    Either way, pain is part of the process. So, is God punishing us—or perfecting us? Maybe both.
