Pruning

We have a lot of plants and flowers in our office. Sometimes Dr and I go around with our scissors and start clipping off the dead stems. The pieces of leaves that have withered and dried up. We save the living branches and cut off the dead.

I think God is a lot like that with me. He keeps what's alive but prunes me, clips off the dead pieces within me and keeps me healthy and strong. Even when it hurts to be pruned, it's still for my benefit.
