Our relationship to the Lord is like a grapevine in a garden. We are connected to Christ same way the branches are connected to its body. The Father is the gardener. We are to experience pruning for these are part of the Spirit's way to help us live a fruitful life in the Lord.

I firmly believe that if you will wisely and daily use the pruning shears of revision that you will find there is no objective beyond your ability to realize. It is magic, this pruning shears of revision. It

really is not only the achievement of objectives, but if you do it daily, it will awaken in you the spirit of Jesus, which is continual forgiveness of sin.
