You are pruned already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you.
Jn.15:3
The branch is always cut, either from producing no fruit or from the desire to produce fruit more abundantly. Either way it gets cut.
Pruning or cutting, it's all the same. To become more like Jesus there has to be less of me. When people say, "be the best version of yourself" what they mean is become more like Jesus. He is the best version of me.
Saint Therese of Avila underscored this by saying, "Be the best God intends you to be and then set the world on fire!"
Jesus, let there be less of me and more of you in my life.
