On the other hand, we're told that if we do service begrudgingly, it doesn't really count (pretty sure there's a scripture for that), which would mean that if sacrifice requires reluctance and only giving gladly counts, then sacrifice doesn't count (which I don't think is true).smasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06179217486259879695noreply@blogger.com
