Has a parent ever told you that they were punishing you because they loved you? That seems a little bit confusing in the moment, but if your parent didn’t care about you at all, they wouldn’t care if you messed up or wouldn’t want to help you get better. God, the Father, loves you no matter what, but He loves you so much, that He doesn’t want you to stay as you are…He wants you to grow and get better.
Look up and read John 15:1-4. John uses the example of a vine and branches and God as the gardener. He prunes us because He wants us to grow even more. What is one way that you think God wants you to grow right now?

About this Plan
