It's about not being satisfied with the latest achievement, the latest gold star, because the one thing I know about a body of work is that it's never finished. It's cumulative. It deepens and expands with each day you give your best. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You haven't even started.

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.
