God Will Prune You

John 15:1-2

Jeff M Newman

Nov 17, 2023

"I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful. (John 15:1-2)

Be deeply connected to Jesus, like a branch is connected to the vine. Be prepared for the Father to prune things out of your life that prevent you from bearing fruit.

Getting pruned can be painful, but know that as a result, you will have a more fruitful life. As study the Word, God will reveal areas of your life that need to be pruned. Let God prune you. ~ Jeff M Newman
