II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

APPLY these questions to yourself: Have YOU an oil-fire within which radiates a WARMTH unto others, drawing them into its comfort? Have YOU that OIL in your vessel which takes the friction out of life's pathway? Have YOU that Spirit-light of His OIL which illumines your way and keeps you from stumbling? Does the combined light of your own and of those with whom you have spiritual fellowship, constitute A BEACON which guides a stranger – rejoicing to your door?
