A New House
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and I love this story by C. S. Lewis. He says, “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 anyway and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is God 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 going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. A palace that He intends to come and live in it Himself.” That’s a good reminder today of what God is building in your life!
