Just like the Gardner that goes out every late winter to prune her fruit tree branches that are dead and damaged and potentially have some diseased areas, God does the same with us. Every season of our life we go through, there’s a branch that God is pruning off of us. These branches could be relationships that are not spiritually healthy for us, childhood trauma we have not dealt with, past abuse or hurt we never spoke of, and or words people spoke to us that kept us bound in a state of mind that I’m not good enough. To help us continue to grow spiritually healthy so we can increase in our faith and increase in bearing good fruits; God comes in and prunes these branches out of us.
