Pain Isn’t Proof You’re Forgotten

We assume pain means God walked away. 
But sometimes pain is proof He’s closer than ever. 

Diamond is formed under pressure. 
Oil is pressed out of olives. 
Grapes are crushed before wine ever flows. 

If God allowed the pressure, it’s because something valuable is being extracted from your life. 
He never wastes pain — He repurposes it. 

Your scars are not shame. They’re evidence of the battles you outlived.
