Backlit

"back·light·ed or back·lit -- To light from behind" (thefreedictionary.com)
"This causes the edges of the subject to glow, while the other areas remain darker." (Wikipedia)

If a person was to stand in front of a sunlit window, another person in the room would not be able to see his/her face. Because the light is so bright, the person in front of the window can not be seen clearly.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we, as followers of Jesus, were backlit? I want The Light of the World (Jesus) to shine so brightly that people can not see me clearly. Instead, they see Him!

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12
