"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perisheth (though it be tried with fire) might be found unto your praise, and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:" 1 Peter 1:7 Geneva Bible of 1599
Maybe you are going through a trial, some sort of rough situation.
It is through that trial brings forth that which is precious.
You heat up coal and a diamond comes forth.
We by nature are fit for the fire.
We must go through the fire, for the true fruit to be brought forth.
It is the same way when one prunes a vine.
The older the vine the more severe pruning it needs.
When God prunes your life, he is out to thin out, reduce or even cut off the excess weight that bears you down.
God wants to cut out those immature things, so that there will be more room for His glory.
God wants to remove those dead and dying things, so that He can increase and encourage new fruit to develop.
Do be mislead, cause when God prunes it is gonna hurt.
If you are or have not yet been pruned what you have could very well diminish.
It is just like pruning grapes, if left unattended for a long time they wither up and die.
If they are pruned on a regular basis they will yield a bountiful harvest of fruit.
If you plan on maturing in God, then there will pruning that lies ahead.
God will start with your priorities, and what you do on the outside.
Integrity counts.
How are you when no one is watching, as compared to when someone is watching?
Mature pruning is about your values.
Each time that God prunes, He is one step closer to the core of who you really are.
God wants to bring you as close to the image of Christ.
The first thing we must do is be grafted in Christ.
Does God have all your heart?
Do you ever feel as though you have been around that mountain before?
You may have.
You must past each test, for if not you shall keep going around that mountain till you do pass that test and learn all that God has for you.
If you think you are ready to give up, don't!
Usually when you are at that point then that means that your blessing is around the corner.
Hold on, don't give up!
When you invite God into your circumstances, He will Keep His promise and work everything out.
It may not be how you planned, you may not like it, get it or even understand it.
"Also we know that all things work together for the best unto them that love God, even to them that are called of His purpose." Romans 8:28 Geneva Bible of 1599
God' secret for more is less.
Is he pruning your life?
Has your life been impacted lately?
It is not time time to be running scared?
It is time to let go and let God.
It is time to water your Spirit with God's Word, so you may grow and become deeply rooted.
"And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9a
By the way His grace = His empowering presence.
