I’ve missed this every time I’ve heard about his martyrdom.

“We are all sacrificing… But HOW are we sacrificing?⁣ Is it with resentment? It is longing for things we are missing? Is it self-pitying or self-righteous?⁣ Or do we GLADLY sacrifice? ⁣Out of love for the Lord and for those around us. Not holding resentment for anyone.”

I stand accused!
Too often, willing to give but pouting in my heart.
Or giving service to family yet being self-pitying. Ouch.
Serving, but with some lingering resentment
(why do I have to cook again tonight?)
instead of with the pure love of Christ.

Great insight.
Time for some repentance here.
