On Sunday the scripture reading at church was from John 15, one of my favorite passages. I've read it many times but I especially liked the point that was made: The good branches still get pruned.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away:
and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more fruit.
Even in purging His desire is that we may bring forth more fruit. It was good to be reminded that God is at work in my life and that His grace extends to me everyday and to remember that His purpose is good.
