Sometimes pruning our lives is the way God prepares us for more fruit. For instance, if you don’t prune the branches off of vines, they will take the sap from branches, preventing fruit from ever being produced. Similarly, in our lives, there are people who when kept at a close distance, will cause you to be delayed, distracted, and can sabotage your calling and your purpose.

Those people typically fall within one of these eight categories. If they are in your life, it’s time to let them go.
