The Subtle Influence of Being Light

"Now you are light in The Lord; walk as children of light..."  -- Eph. 5:8b

"We do not realize the importance of the unconscious part of our life ministry. It goes on continually. In every greeting we give to another on the street, in every moment's conversation, in every letter we write, in every contact with other lives, there is the subtle influence that goes from us that often reaches further, and leaves a deeper impression than the things themselves that we are doing at the time. It is not so much 'what we do' in this world as 'what we are' that tells in spiritual results and impressions."
-- J.R. Miller

Give away your life... As His light in the lives of others.
