Imagine yourself as a
living house. God comes in to rebuild 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 and so you
are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way
that hurts abominably 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 on 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.”
