A Living House, a House That's Alive

God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps you coun understand what he's doing. But then he starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. The explanation is that he is building quite a different house from the one you thought of. Of course it's going to be painful when things are torn down and walls are knocked out - but what's being built here is something really beautiful and stunningd And more attractive and more ample. That's a beautiful image for the spiritual life.
