The Lord gave me this message which shows that to truly pursue “Excellence” in Spiritual Personal development, you have to be the “Brush” and let Him be the artist!

Life is a constant cycle of cause and effect. Most of the time you are to busy worrying about the effects rather than the causes says God.. The life that you have today is the one that you have designed for yourself says God. I put the brush in your hand initially, but it was you that made the decisions about what to paint.

Then came the time that we were painting together, and look how much better that became. Sure we still went off the canvas a few times when the flesh was permitted to participate, but over all you see a far more pleasant picture then when you were painting by yourself , all alone. Now it is time for you to become the brush, and let me do the painting says the Lord. There is still plenty of room on your canvas and together we will create a masterpiece. That means that there is no time to spend analyzing  previous pictures- a wrong color here, too much  shadow there- it is a pointless exercise unless you intend to keep on doing your own painting.

It is much easier to start with a clean piece of canvas and see what you truly desire appear on it, than it would be to change something you had previously worked on so that it only appears different

It has to be different from the first stroke. So it is with the things that challenge you. It is necessary for you to be different on a consistent basis in these areas. To plan out a day of activity is one thing, but if those activities are not carried out, what was the point? Excellence begins in the heart, not in the head. It is something that you have to be, before you will consistently do excellent things. You will not have an excellent attitude towards your work when you are sitting around in a messy office, unshaven in the same clothes you were yesterday. If you are not being excellent in your heart it is impossible to maintain a mind set of excellence says God.

Make progress today by re visiting the principles of excellence and deciding that you are not going to settle for anything else.

You will immediately see an improvement in your performance. Use the workflow ideas that I gave you and remember to delegate everything possible so that you and I can concentrate on the painting.”

Whatever path you may be on at present, you can find the answers you seek in God’s Holy scriptures. They have the ultimate keys to true Personal development from a Spiritual perspective
