Pruning

Thursday May 18th, John 15: 1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 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. Following Christ is not easy, and none of us likes the pruning that takes place in life. Every difficulty you have been through in life cuts off a little more dead wood. It is all that extra garbage we carry around that keeps us from knowing and living the gospel.
