My child, in this season I am going to search your heart and bring to light every hidden motive. I am going to expose to you the things inside of you – things that you were not aware of, the sin that was purposefully hidden from others, or the habit you constantly justified. I am doing this out of My deep love for you and not to shame you. I know this can be a painful process, you might even feel embarrassed or humiliated. My child, when this happens don’t run from Me. Instead, run towards Me. Run into My open arms!
This exposing season is a necessary process for you to move forward. I am coming like a gardener to prune and cut off any dead or rotten branches so that you might bear much fruit in this new season. My child, feel My deep love for you in this pruning season despite the painful procedure, and know that I will be with you in this process.

23 Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts;24 And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.Psalm 139:23-24 (AMP)
Pray Psalm 139:23-24 over yourself. Ask God for an open and unoffended heart as you choose to partner with Him in this season. Let Him expose anything that is not in alignment with His Kingdom values. As He reveals those things to you, repent, then ask for and receive His forgiveness; know that He is a loving Father who cares deeply about you.
Jesus Is the Vine—Followers Are Branches
1 “[a]I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit].
John 15:1-2 (AMP)
38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39 (AMP)
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT)
