“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 15:1-2
The Lord always has His best in mind for us. He is looking to produce in us the fruitful qualities that are ever-present in Him: love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, humility, self-control, faithfulness, and more! His plan for us is always good, and He is determined to do what is needed to make us even more fruitful. Sometimes that means change, which can be hard. Yet, we can always trust the Lord to do what is right!
