We do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ… 

         It is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” 

         who has shone 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 clay jars, 

         so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power

         belongs to God and does not come from us. 

         We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed….

                  —2 Corinthians 4.5-8

Here is the secret to happiness:

you are not the jar.

You are the light.

The jar cracks and breaks.

The light spills out.

Nothing can hurt the light.
