Devotional: You Will Be Pruned

We are grafted into the vine of Christ. The Father prunes us, cutting away what is unfruitful. The process hurts — it feels like loss. But pruning is preparation. It is His mercy that shapes us for fruitfulness. Without Him, we can do nothing. With Him, we will bear much fruit. But if we resist, if we remain barren, we risk being cast aside. Still, His patience is great, and His pruning continues until our final breath. The reward of pruning is eternity: a vineyard that never withers, where the fruit is everlasting.
