In the garden, to one side of our home, sits a bush. It has the most stunning, beautiful, purple flowers, that literally can take your breath away, such is the colour. But that’s only half the story. Because the other half of this same bush is looking rather barren and dead.
In our lives we often need pruning to keep us looking at our best – like having a hair cut. It keeps us looking tidier, and more presentable.
In our spiritual lives, if we are having a relationship with Jesus Christ, then we will be constantly growing too. But, with growth, there is a need for pruning.
Just like the bush in our garden that needs a good prune to help it have a chance of doing what it should do, we need that same attention in our lives.
Is there an area of your life that God is wanting top prune? Perhaps a former living part that has simply had it’s time, and now needs pruning away so God can help something even more beautiful grow in it’s place? Much like cutting dead ‘heads’ from a bush, we can feed things that are no longer working as they should.
Just a thought…
