THE FRUIT OF THE VINE

.............While driving back to Aiken today, I drove through Montmorenci, and this was the first time I had actually seen the wine vinyards, when they had been pruned way back, and were totally barren. Even though they had been stripped clean, I knew they would be growing back in the Spring.
This is true of us, as Christians,too.When God needs to clean our Spiritual house,he often prunes the weeds out of our lives, and takes out the bad habits we have, leaving us "seemingly bare", but within a short amount of time,(and the word of God) He will start a healthy sprouting in us, again! (only better!)
