Perfection???

Our church secretary thinks I am a hard person to please, bordering on perfectionist.

I don't think I am a perfectionist, but I want things right! (Does that mean I'm a perfectionist?)

I hadn't really thought to much about that until yesterday when I met a contractor at the library. He is a Christian, and told me that sometimes Christians are the hardest to work for because they want it right.

At first I was a little concerned by that statement. But as we talked, it was his employees that thought he was hard to work for, not so much the Christians who are customers (though he did say that was sometimes the case).

But the more I think about it, the more I can see it. Paul tells us to do everything as for the Lord. Everything that we do, we should consider it being done for the Lord. So why wouldn't we make sure it was done right? I suppose a Christian had better demand the best from himself, since he is really working for the Lord. I suppose a Christian had better demand the best from others around him if they are working for the Lord.

You will never achieve 100% if 99% is good enough! Let's make sure that we give the Lord 100%.
