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.
C. S. Lewis
Through Jesus, therefore, let us
continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise- the fruit of lips that confess his
name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with
such sacrifices God is pleased.
Hebrews 13:15-16
