Beautiful, Beautiful

Today in mission trip meeting we were talking about preparing for the trip. I thought to myself I really want to be prepared this time. I don't want to slack off any, or get lazy, or too busy because there is always time for God.I really want God to use me while on this trip. I want to be able to really impact someone's life while I am there. 
So while I was doing my devotions, I ran across a couple of things while reading in John. John 1:6-9 "6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
 9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
As Christians we are like John. We are here to represent Jesus, to bring more to the Kingdom of Heaven. When we are in the world we are supposed to be separated from the world. But do we really look different from the world? Or do we act the same as others that are of the world. It's really difficult to not do things if the world sometimes because everything is so much fun. 

John 2:23-25 23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.[a] 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person." 

What does this mean to you?
