Excellence


Hello World,

Firstly, huge apologies for not blogging for so very, very long. . .I began to feel guilty about this and them remembered that is not the point of blogging at all. However, I do feel my absence has shown me something. . .I have been planning to blog on the subject of 'Excellence' for a long time but have never got round to blogging during my working hours (ie lunch break - ideal time to post) as I have been so busy. . .

I am convinced that as followers of Jesus we are to honour Him in our work and follow His example - think about it, would you find Jesus wasting hours on Facebook, cutting corners when replying to clients and deleting emails without paying them full attention? I think not, so the point of this gap to me has been - strive for excellence.

This reminds me of a verse I just love in Colossians, Chapter 3 verse 23-4: 'whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ'.

Let's be those who set examples in the work-place - and point to Jesus in every task we put our hand to.
