What you love determines what you feel shame about.
If love for men to make much of you,
you will feel shame when they don't.
If you love for men to make much of Christ,
then you will feel shame when He is belittled on your account.
Whenever something is of tremendous value to you,
and you cherish its beauty or power or uniqueness,
you want to draw others' attention to it
and awaken in them the same joy.
That is what it means to magnify Christ -
to show the magnitude of His value
