Joseph Symonds (1)
When God seems to be turning a man into a desolate and ruinous heap, yet even then is He building and preparing him to be a more excellent structure. The gardener digs up his garden, pulls up his fences, takes up his plants, and, to the eye, seems to make a pleasant place as a waste. But we know he is about to mend it, not to mar; to plant it better and not to destroy it. So God is present even in desertions, and though He seem to annihilate or to reduce His new creation into a confused chaos, yet it is to repair its ruins and to make it more beautiful and more strong.
