Bear Fruit....

At times as Christians, it seems like all we do is go through.  Yes it is true that the Bible says that there will be trouble and that he has over come it for our sake, but, if you are anything like me, you still wonder what all the trouble is for, why do we have to go through?  Easy answer, to bare fruit!!!!! The Bible says in John 15:2-3; Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].  In other words the reason that you continue to go through is because you are baring fruit (which the enemy does not like, but that is another preach) and because God wants you to bear more fruit and richer and more excellent fruit.  God is just simple trying to get you to a point so deep within him that all you see is the fruit, continuously and perpetually in your life...So know this, you will have trouble and continue to do so, but know it is just the process of pruning you for the fruit to come!
