PRUNING IS PAINFUL BUT FRUITFUL

God often removes what is unhealthy in order to groom and grow His body. Like pruning reveals, the process may be painful but it is fruitful. “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit" (John 15:1-2).
