Philippians 2:17
Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
Paul is talking about letting ourselves being used in the service run by other fellow believers for others. Essentially the point to be made is that the other fellow believers who are running or organizing the services will get the recognition. However those who help them behind the scenes may not be known for their work.
The emphais Paul makes is that we should be willing to be used by our fellow believers in their service to others. Like a drink offering that is poured out, it is used and forgotten, yet it is an essential part of our service. All the hard work done behind the scenes may not get recognition from other humans but God our Father knows our hearts and our works.
