"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, they they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16

Notice in this verse that our "good works" - acts and attitudes that help give light to others - are not just ours. They come from our Source as well. This realization prevents us from becoming overly self-conscious in shining our light.
