I am a branch and on my own, am useless as life comes from the vine. May I remember this every day, and admit my weakness and rely on His strength and life in me to produce fruit. Pruning hurts but sometimes He prunes not only what is bad, but what is good so He can produce the BEST fruit in our lives.

You are so right, it is unpleasant and downright painful, but oh so necessary for growth. I praise God he doesn't wince or hold back his hand from the much needed pruning in my life!

It's such an apt picture, and one that helps make sense of losses. When something is pruned, something grows in its place that couldn't otherwise.
