God Is Getting Rid Of Your Old Branches

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. John 15:1-2

I just pruned the dead branches off a plant. Then I heard God say,"You have to get rid of the old before the new can take over."

I asked, "What is the old in my life?"

God said, "I am getting rid of the old."

I feel like God is saying that we can be at peace and trust that he is doing a good work within us. He is pruning our dead branches. We, personally, don't know what is dead or not bearing fruit. He knows because he is the gardener. Rest and let him work. I know that we might not recognize the new us that is revealed. We may look nothing like we expected, but we will be truly wonderful.
