Shine...
If you’re in Christ, you're supposed shine out His light brightly but it’s not supposed to be like some competitive sporting event or some self-centered activity. No, we're all supposed to be striving brightly not to shine the light on ourselves, rather, to point them to the source of how we shine at all...Jesus!
_
So, don't be one who is so self-centered on shining the light that in the process you try to blow out the light of others. Have an abundance mentality instead of famine mentality...there's room enough for everyone doing their part in the Body of Christ!
_
Secondly, in a practical sense regarding the candle analogy, there is this thing called success. We shouldn’t fear the success of others.
_
Sadly, some are so self-centered or fearful of others success they want to "snuff out" other's success or feel threatened by it which if you're in Christ...this attitude is not healthy or Biblical!
_
You can’t build yourself up by tearing someone down nor will you ultimately be more successful if you tear others down!.
_
Bottom line, in the spiritual aspect, let's encourage one another to shine out His light brightly and in the practical sense...let's also celebrate other's success and encourage it because their success is not and should not be seen as a threat!
