Excellence vs Perfectionism

The topic of “Excellence vs Perfectionism” was last night discussed
At Awaken Generation, where participation by students was a must
Excellence is of course a core kingdom principle
Whereas living a perfect life is somewhat mythical
Something on which we should all reflect
Is that only God and His Son are perfect
This of course is consistent with from the Old Testament we learn
That nobody can follow all of God’s commandments at every turn
Most scholars would agree that this set the stage for Jesus’ birth
Which was proof of God’s love and His view of our immense worth

So living our lives excellently is something to which we can strive
Even if perfection is a place that we can on this earth never arrive
For excellence relates to our heart, our effort, and our approach
We should do the right things right, and do all above reproach
This applies to our home, our friendships, and our workplace
This is what God expects and to others presents a good face
For others will see that we put in effort honest and complete
Thus influencing them as well as helping to the enemy defeat
