Eph. 2:21 - 22 (NKJV)...in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
Driving up and down US 27, it is not uncommon to see what was an orange grove cleared overnight and construction beginning. We tend to watch in eager anticipation of what will be coming to our area. We hope that it is our favorite restaurant, or a store that we usually have to drive a long way to reach. Then in the end we finally see it coming together and can identify what is being built. In the same way, we are all under construction. God is in the process of clearing some things out of our lives and building some things into our lives so that in the end we are a "dwelling place of God in the Spirit." The next time that God takes something from you, know that he is just clearing some room to build. Don't bemoan the loss, but anticipate the building.
