“Whatever you are doing, show that God is great…” 1 Corinthians 10:31 EASY
When you look at nature, the shape and size of mountains, the sunrise and sunset, flowers, the sky, the ocean, a handsome guy or a beautiful woman, what do you say?
Probably it’s “God finished work on this one”.
You basically admire the beauty in what He created and feel sudden reverence knowing only a Master could have done it.
You look at perfection and can almost see no flaw in it. It’s almost like your mind is suspended in time as you subconsciously give thanks through observation.
That’s the kind of reaction Masterpieces get.
When you create, what reaction do you get, strive to get or hope to get in future?
We create every day. Whether it’s a simple report for your boss, a one-page strategy document for your project or a handmade bag for that client, we’re always creating.
Are you striving to create something awesome, or are you just doing the barest minimum? Are you working towards perfection or using imperfection as a reason to never get better?
Sometimes we’re tempted to do the barest minimum and cut corners, especially when we know we won’t be appreciated for all that work.
But here’s the thing: you’re not doing it for the approval of another man. You’re putting in that extra so that those who see it get suspended in time as they marvel at your work and wonder how you pulled it off. It is at that point that the presence and greatness of God are acknowledged in your life.
Right now, cutting corners and settling for mediocrity might be your preferred option. But it’s really not about who you are now but whom you want to become.
We have a God that doesn’t settle, so we can do better. When you believe that your best work is yet to come, what you create today will be better than what you did yesterday. That growth is perfection.
