It's true. It's really true. Thank you for saying that. That's so beautiful. Yeah, I just... I can't tell you when I was in my lowest time of depression. And it wasn't when I got a job or booked something. It wasn't any of these things. It's when I put my problems aside to set somebody else. Look at what you did for me. You were in a bad place, all right? You were just as...

I mean, maybe you weren't as depressed, but you were going through some really bad things when you met me. But you put your stuff aside to be at service to me. You were a servant to me. And didn't that help you through your stuff? Yeah. Because some of us are really struggling financially. And some of us are just like, I want to help, but it's really hard.

And I just want to let you know that God sees that and He's... He doesn't look at how much you can give. I just wanted to read this little part. It's Mark 12, verse 41. And a poor widow came and put two small copper coins, which make a penny.

And he called his disciples to him and said to them, "'Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all of those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, has put in everything she had.'" I'm so and she had to live on.

And like, it makes me so emotional because like, I just hope we can all like help one another more. And I just see so many people like I don't know. So many people are broken and suffering and, and it's not a lot of people. It's just not their fault. Like they, especially these kids, they're just, they come from such broken homes and I just, I don't know.

I just, I have been praying so much about this. I think it's, it hits home for me so much because I'm seeing so many people at our shows and stuff. And This is the core of Jesus's mission. It's to be of service to people. It's just serve sacrificially. What does scripture say? It says, you love those who love you. Okay. Even sinners do that.

But when you love sacrificially, when you love, when you don't have much, when you give, when you don't have a lot to give, even if it's just like buying someone a coffee, holding the door for someone. I have numerous things in my mind that I can say off the bat that when I was struggling, it got me through. I was at the bank one time, right? And I held the door.

I waited a couple minutes for this man to come out. He had a lot of stuff in his hand. And I held the door for him. And then I was in line. And this man came in the bank. And he goes, I just went to my car, but I had to come back and let you know that I was having the worst day today and you held the door and nobody's ever done that for me. And I just want to say thank you so much.

And he had tears in his eyes. And it's like these little acts of service of holding the door. What else? What else can you think of? Holding the door, smiling at someone, letting someone go on the road, giving somebody a compliment, giving someone your seat on the train. Like, I know these seem like little things, but these are actually sacrifices that you make for someone else.
