How Being More Fruitful Leads to Being More Blessed

The bible says that God cuts off every branch in us that bears no fruit and also prunes every branch that does bear fruit so that it will be even more fruitful. We all go through the pruning process. God will prune our lives so that we can bear more fruit, BETTER fruit. To “prune” means something is cut away, something is removed. This could be a situation, a person whose close to you, or even an opportunity you thought was a right move.

Friend, God knows what and who you need in your life in order to grow and flourish. Sometimes when things happen that we don’t understand we have to just trust that He is working behind the scenes for our good (like He promised). This season you’re in is only happening because He’s preparing you to go to a higher level! I hear Joel Osteen say a lot, “Don’t put a question mark where God has placed a period.” If it’s happening there is a VERY good reason for it and what’s more, you can trust that He’s using this to benefit you somehow.

When you’re going through things like this, the test is not allowing yourself to get bitter. Have the attitude, “God, I let this go and trust that what You have in my future will be greater than what I’m letting go of.” If you will accept the change(s) and stay in faith God WILL open new doors, bring new opportunities, new relationships, and take you to a higher level of blessing!
