"There's work to be done", God said. Though I already knew that, I couldn't see what He saw. An enormous mountain of rubble, belching clouds of smoke and ashes were all my devastated, shock ridden mind could see. "Demolition." He said, "Don't be afraid of it. It serves a purpose you don't yet understand. From this, I have the knowledge and ability necessary to build something glorious and magnificent. But I'm going to need your help". Tears cascaded down my cheeks from my red swollen eyes as He gently wrapped His arm around my shoulder and pulled me a little closer, waiting patiently in the deafening silence for me to give the signal I was ready to begin.
