Is giving up something good, for the prospect of something better logical? It's already hard to give up things that are good, but what about when what you really want is a potential crapshoot, even if it is better.
Then what seems to be better seemingly slips away and you don't know if that's what you really want anymore, but something else catches your eye. Is it better? Only time will tell.
C.S. 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."
This is a painting I did of my brother. He's in Thailand and I miss him.
