Pruning for More Fruit

[S] John 15:2,16 --
 ²"Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. 
 ¹⁶"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. 

[O] God desires me to bear His fruit.  He wants to me to multiply.  He does not want me to stay stale.  So, he needs to take care of me and prune my life so I would bear more fruit -- not just a few here and there.  I believe that during this process of pruning, my life will be matured, sync'ed, and groomed to align with God's will because as mentioned in verse 16, my life will be filled with receiving whatever I ask from Him.  It is almost like I don't really have to ask from Him because my life will already be synchronized with His heart that He will already have given me what I needed.  That's the idea anyways.  This is not an easy road but longer you stay on it, the better it gets.

[A] Surrender areas of my life that I know God wants to prune.  Don't hold on to it.

[P] Dear God, every time I read John 15:2, I'm so thankful for your care for my life in order that I may bear more fruit for You. I want to bear much more fruit to edify people around me.  Please help me to let go of the things You desire to prune away from my life.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
