Why do we need to be excellent? Because He is.

I was born and raised in a Christian family. I attended church and Sunday school faithfully when I was a child. I am very blessed for God has revealed Himself to me since my tender age. Everyday, I learnt more about Him. What He did for me when I don't deserve it. And things that please His heart.

Yes,there are times when I doubt His presence and faithfulness. I often question myself what is the main purpose of my life. Why do I need to excel in my studies? And why do I have to do good deeds? Why do I need to bother about others' issues when they are not affecting my life? Why God wants me to be the best? The answer is; because He is the best. And we are made in His image. So, we are His reflection, a reflection of excellence.

Yet, God is extremely patient with me in revealing who He is and redirecting me towards Him when I fall apart countless times.
He humbles me to submit my everything into His might hands. To not trust my own ability but His unfathomable wisdom. He fills me with Holy Spirit to do and say the right things. He sends Godly people into my life to correct my flaws. He alters the way I think by putting His thoughts into mine. It's no longer about me. It's about pleasing Him and sharing the Gospel through my lifestyle. And what kind of lifestyle? Full of excellence and humility.

I'm not a religious person. But I believe in encouraging others and sharing what I can. God is strengthtening and preparing me for a future with hope. He is preparing something big for me.  Not for my own interest,but to fulfill His plan in my life.

Now,don't look down on yourself. God has a greater plan for u. Work hard everyday to grow in your faith by meditating on His words. Verily, His words are guidance on how we should live our life because He does not want us to live a life of regrets. He wants the best for us. Step out of your comfort zone, go for something bigger. Help others to discover God and His amazing love. Pray everyday that He will reveal His unfailing love in your life. Life is more than yourself.
