Darryl read to us tonight from C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity about pretending possibly being a GOOD thing. When Pretence leads up to the real 'thing'. Putting on a smile when you don't feel particularly friendly can lead you a long to actually being more amiable.
Putting forth going the extra mile with patience actually keeps one from being impatient in reality.
Dressing up "like Christ" ...."you see what is happening. The Christ Himself, the Son of God who is man (just like you) and God ( just like His Father) is actually at your side and is already at that moment beginning to turn your pretence into a reality."
