“...And I thought how many witnesses to the truth had knelt in those ancient pews. For as the great church is made up of numberless communities, so is the great shining orb of witness bearers made up of millions of lesser orbs. All men and women of true heart bear individual testimony to the truth of God, saying ‘I have trusted and found Him faithful.’ And the feeble light of the glowworm is yet light, pure, and good, and with a loveliness of its own. ‘So, O Lord,’ I said, ‘let my light shine before men.’
And I felt no fear of vanity in such a prayer, for I knew that the glory to come of it is to God only – ‘that men may glorify their Father in heaven.’”
~George MacDonald
