Ye are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14, 16 KJV
We have drew conclusion that the light in our textual source actually connote the Light that emanate from the life of Christ Jesus embedded in you.
This was because of the perfect work of Christ for you who believes.
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light IN the Lord: walk as children of light:
Ephesians 5:8 KJV
This verse simply expatiate that all men are Darkness, but God has translated some into Light.
And How?,
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth(believe) me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the LIGHT of LIFE. But these are written, that ye might BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that BELIEVING ye might HAVE LIFE through his name.
For as the Father hath LIFE in Himself; so hath he given to the Son to HAVE LIFE in Himself.
John 8:12;20:31;5:26 KJV
The Life of Christ isn't just a Life but a LIFE that has LIGHT in him.
So this confirms that, as a believer you don't struggle to shine or light up your world. The brightness and the intensity of your light coupled with how large the area of coverage is, does not come or depend on some 'special conscious work of the flesh e.g being a philanthropist' but on your continual growth in fellowship with him which will result into Fruit bearing.
