Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without money and without price, wine and milk.
2 Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in fatness.

Hi Marques,
In serving one another we learn humility, which is a must for us all. Jesus Christ gave us a perfect example of serving.
John 13:3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
v. 4 rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded Himself with a towel.
v. 5 Then He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
v. 6 He came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
v. 7 Jesus answered him, "What I am doing you do not know now, but afterward you will understand."
v. 12 When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and resumed His place, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?
v. 13 You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.
v. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
v. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.
v. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
v. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
mercy, peace and love

Hi Kat,
Your opening statement highlighted in red (above) is at the root of our training in this age. Every day i learn how important it is to be a good servant and be truly humble; In The Sight Of GOD And our Lord Jesus Christ; Who Are Everywhere. Contemplate The Power And Majesty Of Jesus Christ; (All Power In The Heavens And On Earth Given to Him) even while still in human form in this world.
Yet He humbly submitted Himself to be Tortured horribly And killed for His Enemies which we once were; that we could be like Him in due time.
Mat 18: 4-7 (MKJV)
4 Therefore whoever shall humble himself like this little child, this one is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven.
5 And whoever shall receive one such little child in My name receives Me.
6 But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believes in Me, it would be better for him that an a@@'s (a ss's) millstone were hung around his neck, and he be sunk in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For it is necessary that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
Mat 18: 10-11 (MKJV)
10 Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I say to you that in Heaven their angels always behold the face of My Father in Heaven.
11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.
Mat 18:35 (MKJV)
So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also to you, unless each one of you from your hearts forgive his brother their trespasses.

Mark,
So true your quote and those Scriptures. To share our Blessings with the little ones (just dragged out still smoldering and singed) These are the Treasures we must invest now, (first physical then Spiritual) to store tham up in The Heavens (Each One Of The Heavens). And what a Glorious and Wonderful opportunity for us to learn now, how to be saviours Like our Lord And Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Zec 3: 1-5 (MKJV)
1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
Zec 3: 7-9 (MKJV)
7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
