A Spirit of Excellence...

The Spirit of Excellence

I want to share something I believe is sometimes a problem because we, 

Have not been trained to discern the difference;

As we live and walk in our days, we are given a daily task or what we might call

Assignments!

Every day God has given us a  print or Master plan, woven right into it!

That is why we are called to be co-laborers with Him!

When we were young we hopefully were taught to do our tasks well.

Remember hearing:  "If you are going to do a job, then do it well"….

I have had the pleasure of helping and planning and speaking for,

Many women’s conference settings over the years. And it is through

These events that I learned a phrase that I want to share.

"A Spirit of Excellence"

I believe there is a counterfeit of this very thing called perfectionism;

This is where we do it many things a certain way; (my way)

Or it is just not good enough when someone else is doing it their way;

When you are not able to enjoy yourself, because everything is not perfect!

When you are obsessed with order and have lost the joy of the flow of the Lord.

This is really a control issue!

When we are doing a task onto the Lord;

 May we do it with a spirit of excellence.

Not with an attitude of perfection, because no one can live

Up to your standards,
 And this causes division in our hearts,

And in our marriages and  disrupts the unity of the Body of Christ!

A spirit of excellence is where we do our task's onto the Lord!
And we do it well, and with care and applying His creative talents
He has given you!
And many times when we are working with others, we want to
To blend these ideas together.

I think when we exercise this way of thinking we grow and expand
His Kingdom and beauty in our homes and any place,
We are called to operate and manage.

Learn from others, educate yourself;
Inquire of the Lord for wisdom, not perfection.

Blessings and favor come from seeing and using what is in our hands!
But, controlling and a hard task master will stunt your growth...
