If a jug is already full of anything, nothing can be poured into it.
Neither can Christ be seen in us if we are full of ourselves. That is why Romans 12:1 says: Therefore, I urge you, in view of GOD's mercy, to offer your body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to GOD which is your reasonable service.
When we lay down our lives as a sacrifice( giving up our rights and plans and let HIM lead us in where we go, what we say and what we do) then HE will be seen.
"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us" (II Cor. 4:6,7).
Just as GOD said, "Let there be light." and there was light, in the same way when we allow HIM free reign to shine in our hearts others will HIM through us.
But the choice is ours. Will we lay down our own thoughts and our own ways and acknowledge/ ask/ talk to HIM about everything? HE is waiting to fill us.
I am an earthen vessel, just a little pot of clay

I am an earthen vessel, just a little pot of clay
without contents I am worthless, unused, inane I lay
Till the tender Master Potter fills HIS vessel from above
with the living flowing water of HIS great eternal love
No longer am I worthless, nor unused, inane do lie
Now there is water for the thirsty. Their needs HE does supply
