God is a planter and everything He plants He intended it to prosper, to be fruitful. Pruning is the most important part of the winemaking process as it has a huge ramification on the quality of the wine. Jesus appeared to Mary as a gardener and we must come to the garden alone Jesus for a relationship with Him. Jesus emphasizes more on the relationship between the vine and the branches than the fruit, for the fruit is an instinctive result of the relationship. Therefore we must abide in our relationship with Him, through the cutting and the purging for He is bringing us into much fruitfulness. When we are fruitful we glorify the Father.
