Preaching by shining

There is not a Christian who cannot preach sermons every day, at home and among neighbours and friends, by the beauty of holiness in his own common life. Wherever a true Christian life goes, his life ought to be an inspiration.

Our silent influence ought to touch other lives with blessing. People ought to feel happier, stronger, more earnest, after meeting us. Our very faces ought to shed light, shining like holy lamps into sad and weary hearts. Our lives ought to be benedictions to human sorrow and need all around us.
