Have you ever done an addition or a remodel in your own home? Right now we are adding on some new offices and making more effective use of the space that is available. Several years ago, we added on to our church. We doubled its size and are now enjoying the new possibilities that more space makes! Most of all, we appreciate more room so there are more opportunities to serve our community, and more opportunity to minister to lives. We are talking about excellence and how we as believers represent Christ on the earth. We also said that excellence starts in the heart and works its way outward. During the process of building an addition or doing a remodel, things can get messy. Grass has been torn up, so that means there is dirt everywhere. In other words, during the construction phase, we have to remember that excellence is a process. It’s a time where you keep things looking as good as possible, and ask for grace in the areas that we have no control. Quality building takes time. Quality and excellence go hand in hand. If we want to have excellence in building, we use quality materials. We want to make sure the foundation and structure are firm and strong and constructed with the best quality materials available. As we continue the construction process in our own lives, let’s strive for excellence. Let’s be the best representatives for Christ that we can be. That alone could be some awesome encouragement for someone around you.
