This week I pruned the rambly red rose bushes out front…had to prune some good blossoms off (I don’t like sacrificing good blooms!) but that’s part of the process! We have to control those bushes so they grow in the right direction, get thicker and produce more blooms!!!
Kind of like kids, we have to prune away their rambly branches taking them in wrong directions. They will scream or yell, but they will grow up straight and strong.
Like the rambly red rose, sticking prickers in my arms and legs each time it’s pruned, so little kids will kick and pinch us when we prune their lives, but in time they will produce good blooms.
Little kids turn into big kids (us) still needing pruning – maybe not as often – but to maintain good form and direction. (if we let things go too long loppers might be needed instead of pruning shears). But we are salvageable 🙂
We’re never too far gone God can’t find us. We’re never in so deep God can’t get us out!
Do you feel like you’re being pruned? Fortunately, new growth always comes after pruning.
