Spirituality: Trying Faith On

Stories based on make-believe continue to fascinate us because they replicate the way children make discoveries. Act as if something is ture and it may turn out to be so. Perhaps this is what Jesus meant by 'becoming like little children.' In any case, the wisdom about faith has it that you cannot know it till you try it. Try living as if you exclamations about life's comedies and tragedies carry a forwarding address, or as if you live before a Presence who is firmly on your side but more demanding than any friend or mentor. You may be disconcerted to find the evidence for your surmise accumulating, and your dialogue with the Divine developing. Adrian Lyons from Imagine Believing.
