Crossing the 'T's and Dotting the 'I's

When I had my business, I always would tell my employee's to make sure they cross their 'T's and dot their 'I's. Over the years when people came to me for advice in any area of their lives, I would tell them the same, cross your 'T's and dot your 'I's. As I read back over my last blog I noticed something that to most people would not disturb them, but to me it really got my attention. There were alot of 'Dislexic' words within the post, and even some that were mispelled. I was convicted that in my haste (I cannot totally blame my mind for working faster than my fingers) that I should 'Always' go back and proof read what I have written. Honestly, I always think that I did not make any mistakes, but isn't that true in all that we do?

Today I want to confess the problem I am having with this, and why conviction set in during my reading of that blog. "It isn't my best!" If I am truly doing everything to God's glory then I should make sure it is the best, and take the time to make sure it is the best, so that He will get the glory for what he showed me to write. Alot of times in our walk with Christ we hastely move through our lives not taking the time to make sure that we are livng, and doing our best in all things. Alot of 'T's don't get crossed, and alot of 'I's don't get dotted. We think "Oh well, it is not that important." Well, it is... Everything we do will be seen by not just a few, but many. People watch people who claim to be Christians. We claim that we give God our best, but we do not slow down and proof read our lives and our actions. In order for God to get the glory, and in order for people to see Him in us, we must realize that even the little things must become the big things in our lives. If not then we will not be showing the world that we as Christians always give HIm the best in all things. That we care about what people see of our Savior in us.

I apologize and ask all of you that have read these blogs to forgive me for not proof reading them before I posted them. My desire is that even though they may be good, and that maybe people think "Thats ok a little typo is not improtant", that I want it to be the best. Not for me, but for Him. Slow down, and take time to do your best. We were created to be His image~
