What is your B.E.S.T?

Many things in life are acceptable. Fewer things are good. Only one thing can be called BEST. Wisdom asks the question, “What is best?”

Let’s take a look at the acronym B.E.S.T. to see what makes something the best.

B = Blessing. A blessing produces good in an individual’s life. A genuine blessing overflows from one person into the lives of others. A blessing that is good for one person becomes good for every other person in the equation, including one’s enemies. A blessing produces – it generates activities and attitudes that are giving, loving, merciful, and kind. No blessing is intended to be hoarded or used for extreme self-indulgence. Every blessing is intended to be enjoyed and shared. Always remember, you are blessed to BE a blessing!

E = Excellence. The best is the highest quality possible, the supreme effort, the greatest value, and the closest to perfection that can be attained by human beings. No person is capable of getting life right all the time; certainly no man-made device can work with precision and beauty forever. But the BEST comes as close as possible to what is considered ideal or optimum as much of the time as possible, for as long as possible.

S = Satisfying. The best things satisfy the most. The BEST health, the BEST love, the BEST appreciation, and the BEST accomplishments are those that bring a sense of meaning, completion, or fulfillment to life. The best things of life do not just bring momentary happiness; they are grounded in deep inner joy.

T = Timelessness. The best things have an eternal element embedded in them. They produce benefits, results, and rewards that extend beyond one’s lifetime.

Ultimately, the BEST things are positive, hope-filled, and Godly.
