It helps me to trust him in the wait. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing with Grace & Truth Christian Link-Up<br /><br />MareeMaree Deehttps://www.embracingtheunexpected.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-8400860470389717352018-07-14T17:06:38.943-05:002018-07-14T17:06:38.943-05:00I'm always fearful of the pruning - especially...I'm always fearful of the pruning - especially in our yard.

In fact, the county cut down a whole row of Bradford Pears along the road. While it is hard to let God prune us, we know He does only the necessary pruning to grow us into His image.

I am the pruner in our family, and hubby always thinks I take too much, but the trees and shrubs always grow back better and more fuller than before.

I think the hardest part is to keep my eyes on the future -- because I know God prunes us for a good reason, no matter how hard or painful it is right now.

I quickly try to fix things that feel broken or grip tighter to things being taken away or resurrect things long dead. I need God to show me, to reveal what is Him. <br /><br />I know it is for good. I know it deep down. But sometimes it is so hard to see.Rebecca Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182947922572434128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-78494100710704777632018-07-09T11:22:51.533-05:002018-07-09T11:22:51.533-05:00Beautiful, beautiful words, Laura.

Hilariously, until this very moment, I'd never thought about John 15 in the context of my husband's work! Yes, that pruning can be slow and painful but is surely necessary. We often don't see the end-result until far down the road!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528914547247267695noreply@blogger.com
