Stop pretending
David, the four-year-old who
lives across from us, has just
strode up the street with pur-
poseful step, long gun clutched
4n his hand, cowboy hat low on
his forehead. He's off to stalk a
bear or a lion, ambush a bunch
of bad guys, or on some equally
• dangerous escapade. Last
week, when the construction
,men .were laying sidewalk in
front of -his house he was right
out t rere beside them equipped
with ' hard hat, shovel and
rubber boots.
David is a boy with
imagination and what he's
° pretending now in these young
rears will help' him to`harden
his muscles and sharpen his
wits when he really does reach
that manhood of which he only
dreams now. --
Watching David reminds me
of C.S' Lewis's comment that
most of us start • out by
pretending to be Christians. We
pretend we are sons of God,
when all the while'We know we
are not at all like the Son of
God, Jesus Christ, whose will
and interests are one with God. .
We, are instead, a parcel of'
self-centred greeds, fears,
jealousies, hopes and self -
conceits.
There are two kinds of
pretending: One of the bad
kinds is to pretend you are a
good frieptl who can be counted
on for help. when you have no
intention. pf helping • at . all.
There is also the good kind of
pretense which leads up to the
real ,thing. You have .likely
experienced those times when
you are not feeling particularly
friendly or helpful but you know
you ought to be. The best thing
you can do is to put on a
friendly manner and act as if
you are a nicer person than you
are. Very often, you will notice
that you actually start feeling
friendlier than you did in the
beginning.
Sometimes by pretending to
be Christians we become nicer
persons ... but Christians are
not just a group of nice, decent
people. Most of us eventually
come to the stage in our lives
where we finally have to
honestly face thjs°, kind of
masquerade and usually we do
one ortwo;things. We either bag
up the whole bit and toss it out,
or we take the first step toward
the real growth and maturity
God intends for each of us.
Remember the days when
your babies took their very first
.tottering steps, how thrilled you
were? But how sad and
disappointed you would have
been if they • had continued to
walk in that unsteady, faltering
gait the rest of their lives in-
stead of learning to walk with
firm sure steps and stride out
into the world in their maturity.
So it is with. God, our
heavenly Father. He is
delighted when we take those
first faltering steps but He is°
not satisfied with this. He wants
us to stop pretending, and with
faith in Him to step , out to'
become what Hewants us to be.
We could not get launched
into our earthly life without
blind, baby trust in our parents.
In much the same way, every
step of our spiritual growing up
must be by our faith in God.
