Prodigal: What is going on with this stone.

Me: You will see.

This is from Andrew Murray

Some years ago, at Wellington, South Africa, where I live, we opened a Mission Institute–what is counted there a fine large building. At our opening services the principal said something that I have never forgotten. He remarked:

“Last year we gathered here to lay the foundation-stone, and what was there to be seen? Nothing but rubbish, and stones, and bricks, and ruins of an old building that had been pulled down. There we laid the foundation-stone, and very few knew what the building was that was to rise. No one knew it perfectly in every detail except one man, the architect. In his mind it was all clear, and as the contractor and the mason and the carpenter came to their work they took their orders from him, and the humblest laborer had to be obedient to orders, and the structure rose, and this beautiful building has been completed. And just so,” he added, “this building that we open today is but laying the foundation of a work of which only God knows what is to become.”

We have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is of God. 1 Corinthians 2:12
