Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin

God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.  He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff - including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.  Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see.

This was passed on to me from another pumpkin.  :)

Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.  Matthew 5:16
