Deconstruction

Deconstruction as preconstruction.

Deconstruction

To me, deconstruction suggests a careful dismantling — setting aside and preserving everything that can be reused. It looks toward restoration, rebuilding on a better foundation with integrity and strength.

Destruction, on the other hand, leaves only a heap of rubble.

Our God is a restorer. He gathers remnants and rebuilds. The Enemy, though, comes only to steal, kill, and destroy.
