“Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit” John 15:2, English Standard Version.
It seems some women cut people off so well they were born with scissors in their hands to cut their own umbilical cord. Not me; I care too much. So, whenever God tells me He is pruning relationships in my life and needs me to sever unhealthy connections so I can continue to thrive and be fruitful, I cry. Maybe it’s the Mom in me who sees every relationship like a child I’m responsible for. Then, I’m quickly reminded, no, every person I care for belongs to God, and He alone is responsible for guiding and helping them. They are responsible for themselves.
My sister, you’re entering a new season of growth, maturity, and fruitfulness. Begin to ask God to place the right people in your life and remove the wrong ones. It’s nothing personal. God designed us to bear fruit, and sometimes our involvement with certain people can hinder us in more significant ways than we realize.
Prayer: Father, thank you for speaking to my heart. Reveal to me the relationships in my life that are unhealthy. Give me wisdom and grace to do what’s tough but necessary. Help me continue to love them by praying for them. I trust you to care for them and help them be all you created them to be, whether they are in my life or not. Now, help me focus on your purpose and plan. Be glorified in the earth and in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(Read John 15:1-5; Psalms 51:6; Proverbs 13:20)
Such A Great & Needed Message
Wow, Wow, I’ve always been the type in the past to try to hold onto relationships good bad and ugly never wanting to cut the ties until God called them home or they moved away I valued the relationships I were in and them the light went on I wasn’t a failure in the relationship the season was over but I took it so personal there is a season a reason and a lifetime to keep someone, I have learned on this journey that it’s ok to cut the cord so don’t take it personal when it happens just pray. Thank you for the words of encouragement. It doesn’t hurt as much it’s necessary, for your walk with the Lord and a closer relationship with Him.
Thank You, Lord for Your Grace and Mercy.
Thank You, Father for this WORD in season as You continue to lead us into our destiny ๐๐ฝ.
What a mighty Word for me today. Sometimes as women, we give too much and love too hard, without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for answering my prayer before I prayed it. You are an awesome God and thank you, my sister for hearing God speak and sharing.
