A friend has asked me to help her find a story, but I can barely recall any details about it and I've exhausted my resources...
It's a fictional story about God tearing down the walls and windows and whatever else you have built and you tell Him that it is really hurting you but He says something like "you were building a house, but I am building a mansion..."
Does anyboday remember that story and do you know where to find it?
“God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom. …So often our acts of service consist of simple encouragement or of giving mundane help with mundane tasks—but what glorious consequences can flow from mundane acts and from small but deliberate deeds”.

I'm pretty sure it's in Mere Christianity by CS Lewis. It's been years though so I could be wrong.
I've heard the story, but I don't know where it came from. My mother has some really, really old books called (I think) "Espcially for Mormons" that are full of quotes and stories by various people. My guess is it would be in one of those.
yes
