"How and why we do is more important than what we do."

To me this means that it can be seen that I do great things to serve God, but it doesn't make any good or difference if I'm doing it for the wrong purpose or if I hurt anyone on the way just for my own gain. Because at the end what matters is what is on the heart. The true desire that one has for doing things for God.
I feel this is an important idea for Christians to understand because sometimes we can start with our mind set to serve God. But as other things come such as good amount of money or lots of recognition, we as humans can somehow loose the purpose somewhere in the way and have our minds more in the recognition or other stuff rather than doing what it has to be done with a humble heart. Those things can happen to anyone. But we can overcome that if we try to keep our focus on the main purpose and if we pray about it.
