Here in the very first chapter of the Bible, God clearly communicates His desires for our lives to be fruitful. Two things necessary to live fruitful lives are balance and pruning. To stay balanced we need to make sure we get the right amount of healthy nourishment, rest, work, play, time alone with God, and time to enjoy Godly relationships. Pruning us not always pleasant, but it does ensure that the situations, activities, or relationships that are depleting us will not continue to do so. It means something must be cut off or removed from our lives, but God promises great reward as a result~more fruitfulness than ever! Stay balanced by letting God, the wise Master Gardener, prune your life as He sees fit, and you will enjoy years of fruitfulness and fulfillment.
