I've been reading "Jessie" by Lori Wick. At one point in the book one of her characters talks about becoming a pupil of the pupil. This is how she puts it . . . the following are excerpts from her book:

"What does the pupil in the eye do when it encounters light? It shrinks. It diminishes. Unless damaged or impaired by poor health, the pupil gets as small as possible as fast as it can. . . . . How do I respond to light, and by light this time I mean God's light? Do I see my own smallness? Do I grasp how tiny I am in God's light? . . . . .When I compare the shrinking of my pupil to humility and an understanding of its place in my life, I realize that when the light shines, "I" must diminish. I must grow tiny and know my place. . . . . I must shrink when I see how huge and amazing the Creator is who made eyes. Eyes that don't have to be trained to get small when the light comes in. Eyes made exactly as we need them because God is a perfect, Creator God."

What a concept! Our eyes are created to respond to light in just the right way. We, however, let our own egos keep us from responding to the "God's Light" in a humble manner. This certainly needs to be thought about.
