We all have a destiny, we just have to find it

I'm going to first start with a quote from CS 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 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.”Wow, Just think about it. Do I really even need to make an entire post about this? We are always being repaired and fixed, built and built again, but we are being built to be this amazing palace that God has planned for us. Our house is not perfect, but with both ours and His efforts, we may eventually be the perfect palace God intends us to be. Let's expound on this. I'm sure you've heard of the quote: "our body is a temple", well a temple is the house of the Lord. It makes so much sense why our house would be like how C.S. Lewis described us in this quote. There is a primary song called: The Wise Man Built his House Upon a Rock. It's sung between the Wise man who built his house on a rock and the foolish man who built his house on the sand. Of course, when the rains came and the floods came, the house on the sand washed away and the house on the rock stood still. When we take care of our homes, we become firm on our rock, but if we choose to not take care of it, it would be like the house was built on the sand. When the storms come, your house will be destroyed in the floods. So as long as you take care of your internal home, keeping it clean, watching over it, taking care of it like it should be, Heavenly Father will provide the means to build upon it until we are a beautiful palace upon solid ground.
