Do all that you do...

Do all that you do as unto the Lord.  Even when man is not satisfied with your best efforts, remember that God is pleased with you and your best efforts.  Keep your standards to a high level of excellence…as Jesus’ standards were pretty high when He gave His life for us.  He gave His all for us…let’s not take that for granted!

Don’t confuse perfection with excellence.  None of us are perfect.  The only perfect person there ever has been is Jesus.


Because of His abundant love for me, I want to do everything I can to be the best person I can be.  That means relying on and trusting in Him to be all that He created me to be.


I strive to be perfect but settle for excellence because I know that no matter how hard I try, I will still make mistakes, whether I make a wrong decision, have an accident or commit a sin.  For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  Romans 3:23 (Not all wrong decisions or accidents are sins.) The beauty of this is that even when I do make a mistake, have an accident or sin, God still loves me as much as He always has and always will…no more…no less!  God IS love!  His love knows NO bounds!

So, I will continue to strive to be the best that I can be.  I will not let those around me pull me down when I make a mistake...after all, like you, I’m human.  As long as I know that I’m working the best that I can so as to be pleasing to the Lord, I know that is the best I can be.  No need perfectionism here…just excellence for my God.
