A child of God was once overwhelmed by the number of difficulties that seemed to target her. As she walked past a vineyard during the rich glow of autumn, she noticed it's untrimmed appearance and the abundance of leaves that were still on the vines. The ground had been overtaken by tangled weeds and grass, and the entire place seemed totally unkempt. While she pondered this sight, the Lord, the heavenly Gardener, began to speak to her with such a precious message of insight that she began to have hope again in her own life.
The message was simple. Are you, as a precious child of God, questioning the number of trials in your life? Remember the vineyard and learn from it. The Gardener stops trimming and pruning the vine, or weeding the soil, only when he expects nothing more from the vine during that season! The Gardener's question to her was..Do you now want me to stop pruning in your life?
For today, I will simply leave all of us with that question.
