What if excellence isn't about being perfect, but about being present with God?
Excellence is the excellent display of Christ. It's not about human perfection, worldly success, or flawlessness, but rather the manifestation of God's intention, which is always the revelation of His Son. This form of excellence requires a believer to surrender their own intentions, conform to their new identity in Christ, and operate from a place of love, not performance. It begins at the end of one's self-reliance, making way for God's expertise, and is sustained by trusting the Father's love, relying on the Son's finished work, and adhering to the Holy Spirit's leadership.
