you must have
sincerity in all that you do because sincerity is the basis of honesty and
honesty teaches us the ways of God
you must be
authentic; the way God made you. You must meditate on the Bible to be who God
made you to be; not who society thinks you can be; not who your alter ego wants you to be; but the person God truly calls you to be each day
work hard and try your best every day to work at the job God gave you; be it
seemingly important or unimportant
what is also
important is that the work be honest. What do I mean by honest? Whether you’re
digging ditches in the hot sun or doing computer work in the shade, that you should work until the job is done; taking breaks as needed. We don’t work with
stolen tools and if we have a job where we need to clock in and out, we are
honest about how much time we spent working; meaning we are honest with our time and can be trusted to get the job done, and be trusted to take only what we
earned from doing the job
work from the
heart. Do every job whether it be digging ditches, working in an ice cream shop, working on
the computer, or even making art as if you are doing it for the Lord, not for men
because you might work for men for a paycheck, but working for the Lord is what
counts. Yes, you need a paycheck to feed your family. But you need to do the
job well, whether your boss is watching or not because the Lord's always watching. Do the job honestly and properly with the tools given you.
obedience. True, sincere, authentic, obedience is good, but true obedience comes from
the heart; obedience needs sincerity
grace, but not as
a license to sin, but to help us be more obedient. More power to follow the
teachings of Jesus each day. Grace to help us be more kind, compassionate, truthful, loving, and caring. We need grace without sin. Let us ask the Lord Jesus Christ for grace and also ask for grace
from mother Mary, our true mother 
recognize Christ
as King because only by recognizing Jesus is King and Mary as Queen will our
world get better because Jesus and Mary are King and Queen of the universe
anything connected
to the Bible; why because when we show people what Jesus taught, we understand
Jesus, wanted us to be compassionate, kind, etc., and we need great kindness and compassion to carry
out what he taught 
prayer because only
through prayer will we get the strength to carry out Jesus’s teachings; and the grace to carry his cross 
Like your emphasis on honesty and sincerity in all your "tools." Especially admire the paragraphs about how to do your given job with honesty. Lots of good advice for all of us there.
