break out the shears

Had an awesome opportunity this week to hear Andrew Wommack, the dude was amazing.  Look, I want something that will show me where I am.  Beating around the bush and patting me on the back with a little patronizing pat isn’t much help.  Andrew couldn’t be further from that approach.  He lowered the boom.  I’ve listened to Andrew for a long time, and every single time he speaks he jerks some serious slack out.  Speaking the truth in love is what we need.  If the word is like a mirror, don’t pervert the reflection.  Let me see where I am relative to where God sees me so I can change and make the necessary adjustments.  Otherwise, I will stay in the same place my whole life.  Sure there is some pain involved when you get some branches pruned back, but I would rather have them cut when they are tiny as oppossed to when they have had some time to grow.  The bigger the branch the more pain with the prune.
