Pruning

he dictionary defines pruning as the process of “cutting off or removing dead or living parts to improve shape and growth; to remove the superfluous in order to make room for new growth.” Sounds painful, doesn’t it? It is. But the pain is worth the beauty of a life fully surrendered to Him.

All for Good

We don’t know what even the next second brings, but God is graciously able to use any situation for good. May God give us grace to walk with Him expectantly into His appointments for us today.

what are you paying attention to?

“Each day a man has a thousand chances to make right.” But not if that man doesn’t notice those opportunities.

Where attention goes, new grass grows.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Where attention goes, new grass grows.

That setback...

What you see as one of your greatest setbacks might be one of God’s incredible setups for marvelous miracles to occur. If you are meeting resistance in your hopes and dreams, then you’re most likely on the right track. The devil wouldn’t mess with you if you weren’t a menace to his plans and a valuable asset to God.

What are you growing?

a year from now...

If we’re honest with ourselves about where we want to be a year from now, and each day take a small step in that direction, our goals and our dreams and the lives we want to live are absolutely possible!

“A year from now, you will wish you had started today.” There is such a direct connection between the decisions we make, and the things that develop in our lives. So take inventory of your life today...

• What seeds are you planting today and what are they going to look like a year from now?
• Are there seeds you’re planting today that are going to grow into things you don’t want in your life?
• What do you want to be true about your life a year from now, and what seeds do you need to be planting today in order to make that a reality?

When we make small intentional changes today, it can change our whole lives down the road. It's time to start examining what we have been sowing lately; and to ask ourselves whether those seeds are getting us closer to where we want to be a year from now.
