the effects>glow is for your light source I believe. If you want your object to glow add self-illumination to it and make transparent - add an opacity map and place an omni light inside your object, then apply the effects>glow to the omni.

If you are using V-ray then apply the vray lightmaterial to it and make transparent. The vray material will bounce light off the objects around it, then you just have to adjust the strength to look right.
