For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.

And so it is when we do what is assigned to us in our lives and in the church, and then some; then the Lord pays in full, and then some.
