Excellence Instead of Perfection. Part 1

 

Excellence Instead of Perfection. Part 1

A woman was walking down the sidewalk. She walked along talking about her next appointment, carrying all her bags, her phone in one hand and her coffee and the other.

Then somehow this crack in the sidewalk caused her to stumble and Bumble. And finally she fell to the ground.

But guess what? She did not spill this coffee.

Like this woman, the question I posed to you is this. What are you holding on to so very carefully that you never mess it up?

Doesn't matter what comes your way this whatever you're holding in your hand, this will never spill or break. My question is, are you holding on to the best things in life?

- Alita Reynolds

Do everything with a spirit of excellence instead of perfection.
:diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Be sure to watch all 4 Parts of “Excellence Instead of Perfection” series! :diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside:
Ask yourself, where do I tend to strive for perfection in my daily life?

 Pray Psalms 139:23-24 and ask the LORD to reveal what you need to know.
Here are a few examples of how you may be striving for perfection.
:diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Is it never walking out of the house without your makeup and hair done perfectly?
:diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Is it keeping your home perfectly clean 100% of the time?
:diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Is it constantly working to prove your worth at work?
:diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Is it never missing a workout?
:diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Is it cooking everyone’s favorite meals every evening?
:diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Is it planning and executing the perfect parties?
:diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Is it always keeping the kids in the right activities with the right gear?
:diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Where do you personally strive for perfection?
Instead, here is what the Living Word says about a spirit of excellence rather than perfection.

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ. Colossians‬ ‭3:23-24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:23-24‬ ‭NLT‬‬
