when the lord jesus christ separates the sheep from the goats, he is going to judge many of his sheep thusly, "because you have been faithful in the little things, here have [this and that reward] ..." the point is that jesus isn't saying 'because you have been faithful in these great matter of weighty significance ...' rather, in the smallness, when no one is looking, and the effects aren't far reaching, god is looking at our hearts, and will richly reward those who diligently (daily) seek him, and seek to honor him.  in this way, everything matters, and everything has eternal roi.
