The building process
From time to time I like to share some words of wisdom that I have gleaned from others. Tonight, I'd like to pass on to you some words from C.S. Lewis.
"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuilt that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing so you are not surprised. But presently, He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominable and does not seem to make any sense.
What on earth is He up to?
The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards.
You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage, but He is building a palace.
He intends to come and live in it Himself."
