Praise to Our VINEDRESSER | Debbie Taylor Williams

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the VINEDRESSER. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.”

John 15:1-2

God is interested in us. He wants us to bear fruit; not be unproductive. God designed us to bear fruit. It brings Him glory. And, when we bear fruit, it brings us joy. I didn’t understand that for a long time.

Then, I planted a garden.

I started small. I had no idea what I was doing. But, I found pleasure in going to my garden every day and checking for growth.

Then, one day, I saw it. The first fruit. I called to Keith, “Come look!” I was so excited.

God, our VINEDRESSER, cares about us. He watches us every day. He prunes away that which is unproductive to make way for us to bear more fruit. If His pruning shears are on us, then we know He’s close, holding us. Rather than wrestle from His touch, breathe in the nearness of His presence.

Lord, You are the VINEDRESSER. We praise You that You care about us and want us to be productive Christians. Prune us so we bear much fruit for You.
