When God prunes us, it often appears as a hard period. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world. John 16:20
Abraham was pruned for 100 years and God gave him Isaac. Abraham had many children before the birth of Isaac. However, Isaac was a special child. Abraham had to be pruned by God to help Isaac fulfill his divine destiny here on earth.
What do you consider as hard in your life?. is it your family, job, health, education, God knows about it. He is working out an expected end for you.
God often prunes us so that we can understand the usage of the Joy ahead. He cares for us. He will not let us go through what we cannot handle.
It’s for a purpose. Rejoice!
