Keep in mind very little "light" came from WL even though he thought so. Andrew Murray's the Spirit of Christ is an excellent source and was at one time in the LC book rooms along with others. When they tell you that WL read all the books, well he really did and at one time we were encouraged to read them ourselves as well, even the Catholic Mystics (John of the Cross, brother lawerence) could be found on many of the saints book shelf. We used to trade off with one another

I'm with NewManLiving on this, as the word "given" is not in the Greek text.
"Light" comes to us in the person of Jesus Christ. And, while our brothers and sisters often help us to see "the Light", they and we are not The Light, just luminaries reflecting Him. Unfortunately, our dear brother and his followers (including me) fell into the snare of Lucifer by looking at the glory and beauty given by the Lord to the recovery when it was beholding and reflecting Him, taking the credit, and grasping equality with God.
