Your Story Is Not Over
A Story Forged in the Press
There was a season in my life when everything felt like it was being crushed.
The pressure was overwhelming, and the path forward was hidden.
But in that darkness, I discovered a profound truth:
God does not waste the pressure.
He uses it to produce something new—something life-giving, and something beautiful.
Brokenness is not the end of your story.
In the ancient world, grapes were placed into a press and crushed under weight.
It wasn’t a gentle process.
But without the crushing, the wine could never be released.
Over time, I began to understand—
what feels like pressure
is often the very place where God is producing something new.
Something life-giving.
Something that can be poured out for the sake of others.
And because of Jesus, brokenness is never the end of the story.
