5For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake. 6For it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
The imagery of light is a powerful one. Thinking of ourselves not as the producers of light, but the conduits of God's light puts it in proper perspective. It takes our own ego out of the equation -- and Lord knows we all enjoy our own ego -- and makes it about what God is doing in our hearts and in our relationships through Jesus Christ.
How do people see God today? Through you.
Oh yeah, and I'm on Facebook now!!
