Are You in February and You're the Rose Bush?

Pruning is a metaphor used by Jesus in John 15, quote, every branch in me that bears fruit, he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. Have you ever felt like you're in February and you're the rose bush and God is the gardener? If so, Jesus said that as much would happen to you as you wait for spring. There are winter seasons where everything just feels barren and quiet and empty and cold before God.
