I was not prepared for how difficult it would be to lop off branches covered in roses and peach blossom buds, but I am familiar with the benefits of pruning, so I carried on. I put the flowers and branch fragments in a Mason jar before heading to bed and was greeted this morning with this beautiful sight. This pruning thing is growing on me!

The Benefits of Spiritual Pruning
Some time ago, I came across this article, which reminded me of the benefits of pruning in my own life:
“Am I learning the lessons he wants me to learn? Am I bearing fruit worthy of Him? Do I see and appreciate the guidance of the Master’s hand in my life? Do I let go of what is unnecessary or sinful in my life and keep only what is good? …How grateful I am for a loving Heavenly Father who prunes us and helps us tend our gardens, so we may literally see the ‘fruits’ of our labors.”
What benefits of spiritual pruning have you seen in your own life?
