Is there God?

Psalm 14:1-7 (NIV)
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
[2] The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any
who understand, any who seek God.
[3] All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good, not even one.
[4] Will evildoers never learn---those who devour my people as men eat bread
and who do not call on the Lord?
[5] There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. [6] You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.
[7] Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Being pruned by God

~ Sept 13, 6pm

Was pruning one of my fruit tree in the afternoon... cutting off some of the branches that's blocking the walk way.
Suddenly this thought came to me while trimming the tree.
God prune us so that we may bear fruit and also be fruitful... but do you realised how hard it is for the person to prune?
I'm sure God feels the pain when He lay the pruning scissors on us.
