“Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit.”
S. John 15:2 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/jhn.15.2.RV1895
Today’s verse is one of reassurance that we are in the right path. Quite often in life we look back in hindsight and it’s easy to see divine Providence. If we didn’t go through the terrible parts in our lives, we wouldn’t be who we are today.
However, when we are going through those troubled times it seemed like the world was ending and we were alone. In fact, that was divine providence in action. In those times, the Lord was pruning our fruitless branches and cleansing our God ones.
Take comfort that God is working on our lives and making us better.
