I like Bill Johnson's analogy of a Christian as a light bulb: the bulb doesn't produce light by itself, it only shines based on it's proper connection to the power source. In the same way, any light that comes from me is a direct result of my connecting with the Source of Light itself. When I connect to Him, He shines through me. As the Light illumines, you shouldn't even think about the bulb, only the beautiful, powerful, glorious Light!
The world is dark and getting darker...let's connect to the Power Source and shine like stars in the universe!
Psalm 18:28
Psalm 44:3
Psalm 118:26-27
Psalm 119:129-131
Proverbs 4:18-19
Isaiah 60:1-3
Matthew 5:14-16
John 1:4-5, 7-9
John 8:12
2 Corinthians 4:5-7
1 John 1:5
And one more, just to make you smile...
Matthew 11:29-30
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Haha! Love it! Lay down your heavy burdens and striving...just be the bulb and carry His LIGHT burden! :)
Bliss to you!

P.S. If you want further encouragement in this, I highly recommend listening to Bill Johnson's sermon "Screwed In Right", available for free download on iTunes, under the Bethel Sermon of the Week podcast.
