grapes

I've been absorbing so much the last few nights from my devotions. I'm reading My Utmost for His Highest by Chambers. Yesterday's reading was about the call God has placed in each individual's life. This one passage struck me so hard, about how He uses people and my lack of patience to show me His calling. Chambers says, "He uses someone we dislike, or some set of circumstances to which we said we would never submit, to crush us, then we object. ...If we are ever going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed-you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed."
