My Best Today - Excellence
– Choosing to give my best right now in whatever opportunities I have –

You may think that you’re not big enough or old enough to make a difference.  You may think that you don’t know enough to do what needs to be done.  But no matter how old you are, God can use you to change the world around you.  Many times the biggest opportunities come when we are not expecting them.  That is why it is important to always be ready to give our best to God.

It doesn’t matter if you are strong, small, smart, or silly.  If you offer your best to God in every moment, you will see how being ready in every moment will take you much farther than waiting for the “perfect moment”.  Giving God my best today means sharing truth, being loving, learning more about God, and trying your best to follow God.  If you fail, you can learn from that failure.  If you don’t know what to do, you can ask and learn.

Don’t wait for tomorrow to give your best for God!

“Every work which he began in the service of the house of God in law and in commandment, seeking his God, he did with all his heart and prospered. – 2 Chronicles 31:21 (NASB)
