John 15: 1-8, NIV

Vines require pruning to fulfill their full potential.  In the same way, there are likely areas in your life that require pruning to fulfill God’s full potential.  What can you prune from your packed life?  In addition, branches must stay connected to the vine to thrive and survive. 

Are you thriving?  If not, ask yourself, “How connected am I to Christ?”  Is Jesus to you nothing more than a “genie god in a box” to summon when you need help or the one who you devote every aspect of your life to?
