"Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed?" (Mark 4:21) Here we find that Jesus is the light and He is not to be hidden: He is to be seen and known. We are to show His light in our lives. However, I believe I am not only responsible to show God's light through sharing the gospel, but I am to show His light in my service to others.
I forget, often, that in my service to others I should do it in love and not through a sense of obligation. When I stop complaining about "what I have to do" but rather enjoy the moments spent in helping when needed, I can gain fulfillment and shine my own light. When I get over the selfishness of "time" taken away from my own plans I can find rewards in the moment.
