The hedge bordering the arable field opposite our house was cut last week. Suddenly the panorama from the window, already beautiful & appreciated, was greatly enhanced. It wasn’t that the hedge was neglected, overgrown and unsightly, just that a year’s growth had sprouted, reducing our vision.
So it is in the kingdom. Sometimes the daily stuff of life, irritations, frustrations or grumbles sprout & grow, and we don’t realise they are obscuring our outlook, because the general view is still good.
All it takes is a little pruning: forgiving & being forgiven, placing frustrations at the foot of the cross, choosing to rejoice in all circumstances.....
It’s amazing what difference a little pruning makes to the view!

Forgive as the Lord forgave you.....
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts....
And be thankful.
