Ministry: Others being blessed by the oil that came from what crushed you.

Biblically, oil from crushed olives was a widely used medicine for treating wounds (e.g., the Good Samaritan pouring "oil and wine" on the traveler's wounds in Luke 10:34). Ultimately, this means that your past hurts, setbacks, and brokenness are not wasted. God repurposes these times of your life, allowing the "oil" (your spiritual growth, resilience, and empathy) to flow out and become a tangible blessing to the people around you. Praise Jesus forevermore! Be encouraged!
