A consecrated Christian life is ever shedding light and comfort and peace.
It is characterized by *purity, *tact, *simplicity, and *usefulness.  It is full of Christ, and leaves a track of light wherever its possessor may go.

One of Nabal's servants hastened to Abigail, the wife of Nabal, after he had dismissed David's young men, and told her what had happened.-Abigail made up an ample supply of provisions, ..she sent forward in the charge of servants, and herself started out to meet the band of David.-With kind words she sought to sooth his irritated feelings, and she pleaded with him in behalf of her husband. With nothing of ostentation or pride, ... Abigail revealed the strength of her devotion to her household; and she made it plain to David that the unkind course of her husband was in no wise premeditated against him as a personal affront, but was simply the outburst of an unhappy and selfish nature.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:9
