Blueprints

Sometimes trusting God to do all of his work in us to the full can be painful. He never promised it would be easy or comfortable. But he hears our suffering and lets us know that it will all turn out beautifully in the end. But for now, all we can do is trust in his plan and know that someday our eyes will be opened.


Pslam 34:18 (message)
If your heart is broken, you'll find GOD right there; if you're kicked in the gut, he'll help you catch your breath.

John 13:7 (message)
Jesus answered, "you don't know what I am doing now, but it will be clear enough to you later."

Pslam 56:8 (message)
You've kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights, each tear is entered in your ledger, each ache written in your book.

“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. 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 is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
