Pruned to Grow
"Every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit."John 15:2
Reflection
The gardener cuts branches off the plant and it looks cruel. But that is how it gives more flowers. When God removes something, better is coming.
Prayer
God, I trust You even when You take something away. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why would a gardener cut branches off a plant?
- Has losing something ever made room for something better?
- What could God be pruning in your life?
5-minute activity
If you have a plant at home, remove its dry or dead leaves together. Talk about how cutting away helps the plant grow. Then name one habit you'd like to cut back. Read John 15:1-5.
