to GOD be the GLORY
~ Purging and Pruning ~
By Deborah Ann
He deletes,
He rids, He clears
those who have
no Godly fear.
He prunes,
He snips, He trims
so we who remain
can be more like Him.
He purges,
He cuts, He chops
so He can grow
a righteous crop.
He tests,
He exams, He tries
to find those willing
to self to die.
He prunes,
He snips, He pares
so more fruit
for Him we’ll bear.
~~~~~~~~
Every branch in me that beareth
not fruit he taketh away:
and every branch that beareth
fruit, he purgeth it, that it may
bring forth more fruit.
