THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

DO NOT PLACE A QUESTION MARK WHERE GOD HAS PUT A PERIOD

In life, we all experience a PRUNING process. God prunes our lives so we can bear more FRUIT. To “PRUNE” means to cut away or REMOVE something. For instance, a trusted FRIEND may move to another city, a BUSINESS you’re connected to may close, or a RELATIONSHIP may take a different TURN.

Friend, God knows what you NEED to grow and flourish. When incomprehensible events occur, we must TRUST that He is working behind the scenes, preparing us for INCREASE, readying us for a NEW level. Don’t question His definitive DECISIONS.

During transitions, RESIST bitterness. Don’t feel DEFEATED or view yourself as a failure. EMBRACE the mindset, “God, I RELEASE this, knowing it was temporary, and what lies AHEAD will SURPASS what I’ve released.” If you embrace CHANGE and keep FAITH, God will unveil NEW doors, OPPORTUNITIES, FRIENDSHIPS, and ELEVATE you to new HEIGHTS of His glory.

Today’s Scripture:

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

John 15:2, NIV
