The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Im not mormon but i love the meaning behind this story.... I too was cut down by god, only to grow stronger.
He didn’t cut you down. He allowed the house to be taken down so he could build you a castle. ❤️
Thank you for being civil:)
Thank you three comments for being respectful of each other and the life lesson we can all learn from and not “label” it as anything but a good lesson and a bit of uplifting words despite who said it!
I have never seen anyone as you three that commented be so simple yet respectful and respected by a stranger today!
Me…
Thank you, I needed to be the bush and you the gardeners without trying to be!
I will do something kind for another person anonymously to “pay it forward” so hopefully I can say thanks for your grace as human beings!
John 15:1-17, The Lord cuts off the branches that bears no fruit while ever branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be more fruitful. God bless you. ❤️
Oh yay yay thank goodness
Tomorrow night will be my baptism and this is what I really wanted to hear! God bless you all brothers and sisters!!!!
How are things going now?
How are you now
🤔
God bless you
🥰🎉
I'm also not a Mormon but this story is not only beautiful but it speaks directly to what God is working in my life, that I should not ever question his motives. 🙏🏾
hello why did you weit to be a member of church of jesus-christ of latter days saints
"Thank you Mr. Gardener for loving me enough to cut me down."
I'm not a mormon but I love this story....
well please think about because it is the true church
I think a lot of people who are not morman would love this. My favorite scripture in the book of mormanis "remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of god". I am a morman and I know with all my heart that it is the true church we all have worth mormans and all other people and that is my testimony.
Lots of Non mormons love this video and tons of the other ones this channel has!
St ar you're awesome. 😃
They also believe in Jesus Christ, thats the only thing that‘s important! 💟🛐✝️
☺️🙏🏽💫
My Bishop in my teens was Hugh B. Brown's son and i was fortunate enough to hear Elder Brown tell this story himself. Years later, i had been away from the church for many years and had stumbled many times... but i remembered this story and i asked my brother if he find me a copy of this talk. He did & sent it to me. i have been back in the church for over 25 years... but this story will always be a special one for me.
A bishop is the Shepard of the entire congregation. Bishops are the "Father of the Ward". Not like the Father of a Catholic church, but a real Father that leads, guides and loves his family as Christ has loved us.
That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your testimony.
Do you still have the copy? Can you send it to me?
God is so thankful you came back, because you are his child!
Drugs have ruined my life. I have chronic depression, crippling social anxiety, and my family looks down upon me as if i am the most disgraceful human to ever walk the planet. I hope this message rings true for me because I have definitely been cut down. God bless everyone I hope some day this storm will pass.
God Bless you Jake - keep your chin up, and strengthen your resolve to live as God would have you live, and you will come out on top.
“I should never get discouraged, whatever difficulties should surround me, if I was sunk in the lowest pit of Nova Scotia and all the Rocky Mountains piled on top of me, I ought not to be discouraged but hang on, exercise faith and keep up good courage and I should come out on the top of the heap.” - Joseph Smith
When things can't get any lower, I look up, and talk to God, as he is our only true Father, and friend, so stay strong Jake, he knows what you are going through, even before you ask him, he will resolve all your trouble, you'll see, God takes his time, as he test us all the times. Many blessing to you.
Jake Walsh Always remember that the Lord can make you better; that it is better to try than to be afraid of failure. God bless you Jake.
Jake Walsh I just want to say something if you will listen. It's out of the ashes of defeat that we acheive our greatest victory in life. And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.-Ether --12:27- God bless you Jake that you can overcome your trials you are now facing. Know they are for a purpose. Know that your father in heaven loves you dearly and that his son Jesus Christ gave his life so that he could understand your pain and then lift you up from that pain. You have the strength to become someone new and you have the opportunity every single day. Even if you can only make progress at first the fact you are trying is so important to god. have you ever tried talking to your family about your struggles? mabye it's simply the ignorance of those trials that made you out to be a black sheep or cast that light on you. The first step to healing is admitting to yourself when you need support and others help. I know i can use my own advice but you are not alone Jake. Again god bless.
I promise you that day will come. Heavenly Father loves you more than you can imagine. :)
I'm not a Mormon (i have been a Muslim since i was 15) i saw that Shay Carl liked this so i watched it, its a wonderful message that i can relate to and i will be subscribing.
I am a Mormon per say. My family was and i still carry the church with me even though I don’t go much at all. But this is my absolute favorite video that they showed and I will take this video wherever I go.
When I was 15, I had great plans when I grew up, getting married, have childrens, live in a house designed by myself, have the ideal job, etc, but as the years went by,despite my efforts to make that happen, I realized that an invisible force was guiding me, whether I liked it, or not, and no matter how hard I was trying to make that happen, the path was already in front of me all along. Things did not turn out the way I wanted, but like an invisible hand that guides me, I somehow, find myself in the right place everytime.God knows what I need, and whats best for me, way before I even ask him, and when the time is right, just like the bush, I will thank him for cutting me down, for loving me enough to hurt me.I am doing exactly what he wanted from me, from the very beginning, no questions asked. What can I ask more, from the one that is giving me the world,every heartbeat, every tear, every thought,all that I experience, this is God.I live through him,
Orion's Star thank you that was lifting
Your story proves that this message is true and how he cares for us so much that he cuts us down so we can grow back better than before
Orion's Star thank you
Did you ever get married?
Thank you
Today, I was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, God's true church on the Earth. I thank Him for loving enough to cut me down, and loving me enough to let me grow into who I need to be.
My favorite video of all time… I wish everyone reading this the best in life no matter what you may be going through ❤️
He is the Potter and I am the clay, mold me and make, Lord, have thine own way 🙏🏽
Hi Aly, thanks for tuning in to the video and taking the time to comment and share your testimony with us.
🙏🙏🙏
I come back to this video whenever I feel God has asked too much. I need a reminder of Who is in charge. He knows all❤️
Your comment t was beautiful. I come back here for the exact same reason.
The Mormons bring high production values to their outreach. I learned this years ago watching their Christmas specials with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra.
The spirit of God reaches out of this video to people watching it, it's beautiful the way God loves his children! 🙏🏻🕊️💜👍🏻
When ever i feel down, i always come to the Mormon Channel. It is so amazing. I love the feeling that over powers me when i watch Mormon Videos.
💜🕊️🕯️🙏🏻🌸💯💯💯👍🏻
I`M 7O YEARS OLD. MANY TIMES THE LORD HAS LEAD ME IN DIRECTIONS THAT I THOUGHT WERE WRONG, ONLY TO FIND VERY SPECIAL BLESSINGS THERE. TODAY WE ARE CARINR FOR A LITTLE GIRL THAT LIVES WITH US. WE NEED SPECIAL PRAYER BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP HER WITH US, RATHER THAN GOING TO A BAD LIVING PLACE. PLEASE PRAY THAT SHE WILL HAVE PEACE. I AM NOT MORMON, BUT KNOW OF THE POWER OF PRAYER!
God bless.
Are you saying that you are not apart of the church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints?
God Bless you and keep you
We dont care whether you're a member or not, we'll pray for you!!!
Maybe try looking into joining the church sometime, it's never to late to change.
I always come back to this video. Right now I'm struggling to abide by God's will. Watching this video makes me feel better.
Are you a THEIST? 🤔
If so, what are the reasons for your BELIEF in God? 🤓
You got this. I believe in you. God believes in you. Fear not.
I watch this regularly to remind me.
Same
I should do the same
This is exactly what I needed to hear. Brought tears to my eyes… I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and I know that God has a higher plan for each of us that we may not understand right now… but if we do what He asks of us, no matter how difficult the task… we will be so blessed.
This is a very difficult concept to grasp, accepting the will of the Lord. Mind you, not reluctantly. In recent prayers, I have been asking the Lord to help me learn to accept His will. It was always difficult, but it has given me comfort - something I am now realizing as I type this up. I thank the Lord for this Church and for the Truth restored, and for a pair of missionaries meeting my mother decades ago. Golly, this is lovely
President Henry B. Eyring is known by some to have said: If we are not being rebuked by the Spirit, then we need to change the way we are praying.
Very nice message,,,I'm crying like a baby,, I have fallen so far, and can't seem to get back up again... Lord God help me please.
I'm here if you ever need a friend.
+brandybeckydoc Your Heavenly Father loves you. As someone who once also hit rock bottom, I know how you feel. I want to let you know that I am certain that God has a plan for you. You may not be able to get back up on your own, but the good news is that you don't have to. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to lift you back up.Jesus Christ descended below all your pain and suffering and hurt, and he felt everything that you feel. He fell, and rose again, so that you can also rise again, through his grace and mercy. I promise that He will lift you up, if you let Him. There is no hurt so deep, no life so low, no heart so broken that He can not heal it.
Read the scriptures, pray every day, repent and change the things that you need to change, but most important, don't give up on yourself, or your Savior. He will raise you higher than you can imagine, if you will trust Him and follow Him.
just keep fighting and then one day you be laid with fruit of faith and you will be thunkful
+brandybeckydoc You're calling on the right person
I am still looking, but at least I am still searching
Thanks Dear God for loving me enough to even cutting me down so often
Thy Will be done !!!
This should be made into a children's picture book. The artwork is so beautiful and the message even more so! I think about it every time I trim the plants in my garden.. so wonderful how God's teachings can be found everywhere if we're really looking.
This is exactly what the Lord is doing to me right now. It's been a painful process, but he is molding me into what he wants me to be. I am twice the man I used to be, and I thank him everyday for loving me enough to cut me down... ☺
I love the church of Jesus Christ Of latter day Saints.
I;m not a Mormon but my daughter-in-law sent it along. Beautiful and know that I will welcome some pruning along the way.
This video hasn't hit me until now because of everything I've been through and I can say that I truly feel that he loves me even after all of the darkness I have been through...i just hope others can recognize that too.
Heavenly father is always there, we need to have faith and he will help us
ok
C Barrera this video stopped me from killing myself. thank you
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. REALIZE IT OR NOT THERE IS A WAR GOING ON AND WE ARE IN IT... LOVE YOU ALL
Its very relevant to me ❤️ i had a breakup a month ,i always watch this before and now i had trials i always watch this
This Brings be back to when I made the Varsity Football team at my High school. It was my first ever time playing football for an organized team. One Wednesday during hell week our Head Coach sat us down after practice at 7 PM and said, *"Now, I see it in your eyes, pain, fear, and doubt, for those of you thinking about quiting, remember this. Almost nothing in this life WILL EVER GO YOUR WAY! You need to work to get you're way, and when life says no? sometimes all you can do is accept it, this is not one of those times, when your lungs say, " I cant do it", you remember to always think to yourself, "YOU WONT BREAK ME COACH, YOU WILL NOT BREAK ME" I'm not teaching you how to play football, gentlemen, I'm teaching about life. He died 17 days later unexpectedly of Meningitis from West nile, and we went on to lose 9 games and only win 1. For a long time, all I could think was "Why us? We had so much potential" and than I thought to myself, none of my teammates or I have ever forgotten what he said on that Painful Wednesday night. A memory that will stick with me forever. Rest in Peace Coach Brown. #CB
This message is heaven sent
One of my most favorite Mormon messages that continues to humble me when I am lost
A message I needed to hear right now. Life has been and is not what I want and I hope the huge turmoil I am going through will indeed lead me on the path I need to be on to look back and thank God for pruning my life back and making me become more fruitful in life.
when we humbly accept correction and direction, when we seek Heavenly Father's will for us, our lives are blessed.
I love this story, and I've used it many times to help myself and others when the Lord cut us down. He knows what He's doing, we just need to trust Him.
Great reminder for us. Faith includes trust in God's timing and in His will.
This was me, earlier this year. The Missionaries showed me this 2 weeks after I was denied a promotion. It changed my outlook, and I'm grateful.
I remember sharing this with Haitian immigrants on my mission in Chile. We listened to it in French, and, by the end, the man was in tears. Such a powerful message for people in all circumstances.
Nice message. A good reminder that we should even be thankful for our challenges.
I believe in Christ
so do I so do I
So come what may!
❤️❤️❤️
Amen. ❤
I had always been very Thankful that the Lord had cut me down & trim me up many times in my life to ensure I am growing the right way as I should be.
Looking back 27 years ago when I am a tender little plant (newly baptized then), I am growing fine, thanks to the loving Gardener.
The peace this message brings is just what many of us need at times.
In the last 5 years I have been tested in many ways, my life has been very challenging when it comes to financial and family matters, at first I did not understand what was going on, now after a few experiences similar to this message in the video, I can say, Thank you Lord for shaping me, for giving me freedom, for letting me be,, me now I know many things I did not know before.
Thank you so very much Elder Christofferson. When God loves me enough to hurt me I need emissaries like you to remind me of His love. What a welcome answer to prayers.. again thank you!
Everyone is cut down and thanks is given!
Pray for your enemies too.
The voice, the music and the scenes -- perfect, all!
This is so applicable for me in my life right now 🙏🏻 Thank you God for always inspiring your prophets to speak with clarity, power, and wholeness in their inspired messages. They cut straight through to the heart, and heal it. Thank you, thank you 🙏🏻🕊️❤️❤️❤️
As a young man, serving a mission for the LDS Church
I listened to this audio tape (YES TAPE) by Hugh B Brown
What a humbling story!
I am very grateful for this story!
Love Inspired Correction!
Thank you for your service to the Lord 🙏🏻🕊️👍🏻💜
I saw Elder Christopherson yesterday, amazing!🙂yes!
After hearing this story I’ve started thanking Him for loving me enough to cut me down.
its 2024, and im still watching this 3min video! i always think of this video! thankyou
Thank you. This reminded me that, even when all things are in chaos, that He knows what He's doing, and know's what you need to be.
I wish the whole world could hear this message 🙏 Thank you ❤🙏🙏
🙏
I believe that everything is God's will, including our free will
I needed to be reminded of this message so much today.I've been hurting for a while since He cut me, rather I could've cut myself too.But I just feel so much love from Him right now, that it was for the better and that He understands my pain and doesn't deny how much it still hurts.I know the pain will go away little by little, Sunday will come. One day, I will see the big picture and know for sure that He did what's best for me. For now, I shall hold on to my faith and be comforted by His love.
I am grateful for this message.
I love this story. Sometimes the hardest trials turn out to be the best thing that could happen to us

Well said my LDS Brother. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches, God prunes us so we can bear more fruit. We are all one Body who serve Christ.
THE BOOK OF JAROM
Jarom 1 Mormon and the Sabbath
[5] And now, behold, two hundred years had passed away, and the people of Nephi had waxed strong in the land. They observed to keep the law of Moses and the sabbath day holy unto the Lord. And they profaned not; neither did they blaspheme. And the laws of the land were exceedingly strict.
THE BOOK OF MOSIAH
Mosiah 13 Sabbath OR SUNDAY
1. [16] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
2. [18] But the seventh day, the sabbath of the Lord thy God, thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates;
3. [19] For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is; wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Mosiah 18
1. [23] And he commanded them that they should observe the sabbath day, and keep it holy, and also every day they should give thanks to the Lord their God.
De 5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
De 5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
De 5:14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God
1 Nephi 20 [17] And thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I have sent him, the Lord thy God who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way thou shouldst go, hath done it.
[18] O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments -- then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.
[19] Thy seed also had been as the sand; the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
[20] Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter to the end of the earth; say ye: The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
[21] And they thirsted not; he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he clave the rock also and the waters gushed out.
[22] And notwithstanding he hath done all this, and greater also, there is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
I heard Elder Brown give that talk originally -- I have never forgotten it's message --
It makes me cry everytime
This video teaches so much about how God shows His love by allowing us to go through hard things! Preach!
I love this video so much. It has been a great point for me to remember the hand of god in my life.
Beautiful, simply Beautiful.
This story, this talk by Elder D Todd Christofferson sharing the story of Hugh B Brown, touched me in a most significant way at a time when I needed it most, last week. Now this video comes out reinforcing the message. It was a message of how God works in our lives, the frame of mind that is positive rather than the negative frame of mind of being bitter when things don't work out as we wanted. Thankfulness rather than bitterness.
Praise Almightyy God Creator of The Earth and The Heavens for his wonderful Love For Us ❤
millions of thanks for offering a perfect teaching material for me and my niece.
Like this video very much. It's full of life lessons. Thank you Elder Todd. What a blessing to have living Apostles and prophets today. Their words are the words of the Lord too. Blessed is he who listens to the Lord's servants.
This is my favorite video ever. I come back to it again and again and it never fails to touch me and remind me how much God loves me and wants me to be better. He has a plan in store for me. I just need to trust Him and carry on in his light.
i love this video
Wow, these wonderful stories and heartfelt testimonies really touch me. Every single time. I get discouraged when I don't get what I think I should. I hope and pray I can have the strength to accept what God would have of me, rather than what I think I should have.
How timely are the messages of the Lord through our Apostles and Prophets. Thank you Mr. Gardener in my life.
This story gets me back in track and reminds me to trust my gardener whenever I need it xo
I've read that LDS is the fastest growing religion in USA. After watching videos and seen the art they promote I see why. Very beautiful and life confirming stuff.
I, too, need to remember that God is the gardener here. I know he is always right.
Thank you sir for helping me in my depression ... Thank you for making me the man I am now ... Thank you !!!
Not only in the USA my friend, In South America it is almost unbelievable how fast it grows. In this very moment the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has 69,000 missionaries serving. I'm living in Germany this year and I baptized 3 months ago :)
This past year I made a big change in my life that was completely my choice and made no logical sense. It was all because of a strong prompting I had, and it was confirmed to me many times through the spirit that it was what I was supposed to do. The thing was, it still hurt. It hurt a lot. I was doing terribly at what I'd committed to even though I was trying as hard as I could. I didn't understand why an act in faith seemed to be punishing me. Eventually I became sure that it was because I simply wasn't good enough to do it. But I made myself keep going. I don't even know how I managed to never give up, but now the storm is passing over. I'm still here, and I've become stronger. I'm already starting to see miracles play out in my life and other's lives that wouldn't have happened unless I'd gone through that storm in the first place. I know God is taking care of me.
I needed this today :-)
It never ceases to amaze me to know that father loves us so much to personalize trials for our greatest growth and prolonged spiritual progression only a truly loving God could and would do this.
Receiving correction isn't always easy buts its often worth it.
This should help with our understanding when things don't seem to go our way, perhaps Heavenly Father requires something else from us.
I love this story and am reminded every year when I prune my fruit bushes in the garden.
I will hold on to this...thank you so much for such an inspiration
Very interesting video. Its message challenged me to go through the process of increasing my capacity to make me stronger and more capable of supporting my family.
great message
