What if excellence isn't about being perfect, but about being present with God?
Excellence is the excellent display of Christ. It's not about human perfection, worldly success, or flawlessness, but rather the manifestation of God's intention, which is always the revelation of His Son. This form of excellence requires a believer to surrender their own intentions, conform to their new identity in Christ, and operate from a place of love, not performance. It begins at the end of one's self-reliance, making way for God's expertise, and is sustained by trusting the Father's love, relying on the Son's finished work, and adhering to the Holy Spirit's leadership.

A detailed breakdown of the acronym EXCELLENT as a framework for understanding God's standard of excellence:
E - Entertaining His Intention: Prioritizing and being open to God's purpose in any matter.
X - Exiting Your Own Intention: Deliberately setting aside personal plans and perspectives.
C - Conforming to His New Identity: Aligning with the new identity you have in Christ, as excellence is impossible in the old self.

L - Learn What is Required: Acquiring the necessary skills, knowledge, and discipline—including unlearning harmful mindsets—to execute what God has called you to do.
L - Live for Love: Operating from a place of love for the work and for God, as excellence cannot stem from a dead or survivalist mindset.

N - Name the Dream, Name the Detail: Clearly defining the vision or project and giving meticulous attention to the details, as excellence requires it.
