Strive
for excellence, aim not for perfectionism.
Have
you seen a glass blower at work? He starts blowing the long tube of molten
glass till it becomes a beautiful vase or bottle. Does he get it perfect every
time? Of course not. But he continues to strive for excellence till he becomes
extremely skillful.
“Do
you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not
stand before obscure men” (Proverbs 22:29).
“Not
that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make
it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not
consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies
behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for
the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:12-14).
“The
godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again” (Proverbs 24:16).
Didn't God use Moses who was a stutterer?
