Pruning Patience

People nowadays are so busy and in a rush to do/have something without taking a moment to breathe. We sometimes focus our attention on one aspect of our life that we fail to learn other things/people in our lives, including ourselves. We are in such a hurry to make things happen right then and there that we fail to sit down and observe. Just at that moment when you think you’re ready for a relationship or success, you realize that you didn’t have enough patience to be pruned for that relationship or a successful life. If you’ve been focusing on success, then you haven’t been pruned for a relationship. If you’ve been focusing on a relationship, then you haven’t been pruned to make it a successful.

A rose has to be pruned before it can be given as token or displayed for its blooming beauty. Pruning is a process; it doesn’t happen overnight, and it takes a lot of patience. But, when God is doing the pruning, He does it with preciseness in order that you may learn patience. Wait on God to cut away your thorns.
