Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;[a] and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
God’s purpose for us is to be transformed into the image of His son – Jesus
Romans 8: 29 (NKJV)
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren
As we bear fruit in the kingdom, there comes a time, when our loving Father begins to prune us, the result is to bear much fruit for the kingdom. Read post on Fruitfulness
In our walk with God, certain areas of our lives that do not conform to the image of Christ would be highlighted, when the light of the Holy Spirit begins to shine in those areas, our response is to yield and not to make excuses. As we behold him, we are changed.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV)
18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
He loves us too much to let us continue with our selfish ways.
Song for the day
Lord I come to You
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I found in You.
And Lord I've come to know
The weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love.
Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side.
And as I wait
I'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love.
Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As You live in me.
Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day
In the power of Your love.
