God has created the fruit tree to bear fruit. When it is pruned it bears more fruit. You see the growth is controlled or directed in the way the gardener wishes.
When we grow and learn and expand we sometimes look like a virus in a petri dish. Growing in every direction with out any control.
The question isn’t one of comfort or discomfort. Clearly pruning isn’t easy, its painful. But the finish product is a beautiful rose bush, or vine – not just a blob in a dish.
What are you letting control – who you are? What needs pruning in your life that will make you more fruitful. What needs to be removed so that the beauty can shine?
