I was cleaning my screened porch and saw that I needed to clean up a couple of flowers in pots beside the door. I was clipping off the dead flower heads that had gone to seed on this beautiful purple flower. It had been such a gorgeous plant but now it looked so sad and scrubby. It brought to mind the bible verse John 15 vs 1-2 where God continually prunes the branches to make it bear more fruit. I cut away all the dead and suddenly the plant looked happy and quite good. We are a lot like that plant, we start out really great, but then get start to go to seed and have a lot of dead about us. If we let God prune away our dead we can again produce good things and start to look good again.
