C.S. Lewis ~

" 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 jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in the 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 on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He's building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself. "
