Are you being pruned?


PRUNING

The removal or reduction of parts of a plant, tree, or vine that are not requisite to growth or production, are no longer visually pleasing, or are injurious to the health or development of the plant.

Pruning enhances plant shape and flowering potential; new growth emerges from the bud or buds immediately below the pruning cut.


In our journey, one of the many ways God shows His great love for us is by pruning us. He wants us to grow. He wants us to be healthy and give more fruit to bless others and ultimately bring honor to His name. It takes pain, it takes brokenness, it takes even dying, but it brings strength to our lives, increases our potential and, suddenly, we find ourselves being surprised by our growth...a growth that we experience and others can't help seeing.

Are you being pruned? I know I am. So, I encourage you to endure in His strength. Soon enough those around us will have no other choice but to get closer and smell the aroma of Jesus in us.

i've been pruned time and time again... and the pruning continues... as I get closer to Him, the pruning becomes more precise... like He has been making the finishing touches on His masterpiece... preparing me to fulfill my destiny...

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!
