Tin Man

 

So, as C.S. Lewis writes, our faith is not a matter of our hearing what Christ said long ago, and ‘trying to carry it out.’  Rather, ‘The real Son of God is at your side.  He is beginning to turn you into the same kind of thing as himself.  He is beginning, so to speak, to ‘inject’ his kind of life and thought, his life, into you; beginning to turn the tin soldier into a live (wo)man.  The part of you that does not like it is the part that is still tin.  

-Williard, The Divine Conspiracy, p. 20
