the vinedresser

Jesus told us something wonderful about The Father.  He tells us that the Father is The Vinedresser of the Vineyard.  The Vinedresser is the expert gardner who takes care of the vine and each of the branches.  He “takes up” the weak branches that are not bearing fruit.  This means that He helps restore the weakened branch to health in order for it to bear fruit.  He prunes ( a painful experience) the fruitful branches. He does this in order for the branches to bear more fruit. He removes the dead branches that hinder the growth of the fruit bearing branches.  The Vinedresser knows what each branch needs and how to take care of it.  This is our heavenly Father!  You are the branch!  ....ponder and treasure.
