7-19-2014-PRUNING LIFE FOR MORE FRUIT
"REMARKS"
IN LIFE WE HAVE CHOICES AND THE CHOICES WE MAKE, MAKE OUR END LIFES WORK PROFITABLE, OR NOT PROFITABLE.
EXAMPLE; SAY YOU ARE PREPARING FOR A HIKE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND YOU HAVE OVERPREPARED AND YOU FIND AS YOU TAKE OFF ON YOUR HIKE, THAT YOU FIND YOU HAVE WAY TOO MUCH STUFF AND IT IS HOLDING YOU BACK FROM MAKING YOUR HIKE PLEASURABLE AND PROFITABLE. TIME TO DISCASRD SOME OF THIS STUFF AND MAKE YOUR LOAD LIGHTER SO YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR HIKE.
LIFE IS LIKE THAT. SOME OF US HAVE WAY TOO MUCH STUFF IN OUR LIVES AND IT IS CAUSING STRESS AND DIFFICULTY IN LIVING LIKE WE SHOULD. SO, WE START CLEANING OUT THE STUFF IN OUR LIVES AND LIFE BECOMES MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT YAH'WEH, HAD PLANNED FOR US
WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PRUNE OUT STUFF IN OUR LIVES SO WE ARE NOT ENCUMBERED WITH STUFF AND MORE OF OUR LIVES CAN BE GIVEN OVER TO COMMUNION OF SPIRITUAL AND HEAVENLY THINGS INSTEAD OF EARTHLY THINGS.
COLLOSIANS 3: 2 = SET YOUR AFFECTION ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS ON THE EARTH.
SO, TO BEAR FRUIT AS WE ARE ASKED TO DO, IT MAKES SENSE TO PRUNE OFF EARTHLY STUFF IN OUR LIVES, SO THAT FRUIT BECOMES OUR HOPE, AS WE LIVE OUT OUR LIVES ON EARTH AND PREPARE FOR THE REWARDS FOR OUR EFFORTS.
