"Building a Palace"

“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.
Hadn't remembered this from Lewis but of course, as with most of his writing, it is just the thing to say.
David Hamilton
And I know it’s going to be a house that is so much more than I can even imagine!
