Trimming back the old!!


I wanted to share this revelation that I have had pretty much all week. God has been showing me this in different way and also shining blessings in my life!!

John 15:1-2 1"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He 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.

I heard this verse on Monday and let it really sink into my life because of some events that have been taking place. I said God speak to me, well I opened up the flood gates when I asked. God reminded me that he does not tell us to be busy but he tells us to be fruitful, and if we keep on doing things in our life that we are comfortable (to look busy) to we need to examine if we are reaping fruit from it. Often we settle, we think that it is better to stay in routine, it is like we are tell God and others that He is not capable of giving us anything better. It clearly states in the verse above that he trims the branches back so we can be EVEN MORE fruitful!! So the bottom line is If we settle for what we have now, we are denying God the opportunity to bless us, do not break Gods heart that way. Let Him bless us with His best for us!! So ask yourself this question today cause I have been asking it all week, "Is the fear of change denying you blessings that God wants to give you?" This week I got rid of that fear and already I am seeing the blessings in my life!!! So allow God to trim back your branches that are not producing and let the ones that are producing, produce more!! God is not pushy so you will have to allow him to do this in your life!
