"Imagine Yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, you understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on. You know that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised.
But presently He starts knocking the house about in ways that hurt abominably and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is He up to?
The explanation is the He is building quite a different house than the one you thought of --throwing out a new wing here, putting up an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be a decent little cottage, but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself."
