The Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-06-12, Page 28J $;rt ,-,- i'rOUI RIA 1 SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1975 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.
