"The tendency is to look for the marvellous in our experience; we mistake the sense of the heroic for being heroes. It is one thing to go through a crisis grandly, but another thing to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, no one paying the remotest attention to us. If we do not want medieval haloes, we want something that will make people say – What a wonderful man of prayer he is! What a pious devoted woman she is! If you are rightly devoted to the Lord Jesus, you have reached the sublime height where no one ever thinks of noticing you, all that is noticed is that the power of God comes through you all the time."
Jesus Christ is the MARVELLOUS in our experience.
We cannot see the marvellous in anything without the Light of the World shining in us.
He shines in us, not just outside of us!
His word is a lamp to my feet, but He also lights up everything in and around us!
I used to think that I had to strike up the light, that I had to manifest a mindsight within myself.
Now I know -- His light shines without my "help" I do not strive for the light, I do not have to run into the Light -- the Light is running and through me!
This is the blessed legacy for every believer in the Name of Jesus Christ.
