Every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (John 15:2) |
God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. (Gen. 41:52) |
Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well. (Gen. 49:22) |
Oft we shrink from the purging and pruning, Forgetting the Husbandman knows That the deeper the cutting and paring, The richer the cluster that grows. |
Well He knows that affliction is needed; He has a wise purpose in view, And in the dark valley He whispers, “Hereafter thou’lt know what I do.” |
