I’m being pruned to be,
a whole lot more like Him
God is cutting away
each fruitless, useless limb.
He’s sniping at my pride,
my smugness and my ego
so His life in mine . . .
will finally start to show.
He’s trimming each branch,
until their shaped and formed
He isn’t going to stop until
in Him I am transformed.
He’s cutting out the dead wood,
striping back what is loathed
until each new branch
in Him is fully clothed.
Although at first it hurts,
all this cutting and trimming
I know that one day to Him
I’m going to look amazing.
I’m being cut and snipped,
God’s pruning me limb by limb
until I resemble someone . . .
who looks a whole lot like Him!

John 15:2
King James Version
“Every branch in me that beareth
not fruit he taketh away:
and every branch that
beareth fruit, he purgeth it
that it may bring
forth more fruit.”
