Richard Rohr wrote that light isn't what you see; but it is that very element by which you see everything else. For us to respond to God's call that we be the light would, therefore, call for our walk in dispensing light upon people and things all around us. We are not to be praised for being visible light; but rather, to bring praise to those items upon whom/which we shine.
The light isn't the glory. The brilliance of the object seen due to it is.
Don't be the critic. Be the light.
Don't be the Scrooge. Be the light.
Don't be the Bible-banging, scripture quoting Pharisee. Be the Light.
Don't be the accuser. Be the light.
Don't be the naysayer. Be the light.
Life...and light...is always about how good we can make others appear. We, then, have much good work to do. Be. The. Light.
