To clarify, being a martyr implies that we are “taking one for the team,” usually tinged with a trace of bitterness. Do not for one minute confuse this with Godly sacrifice. Giving our hearts to the Lord and following His path, even while sacrificing, does not brood feelings of resentment. Instead, Godly sacrifice brings us closer to the Lord and begets feelings of peace and happiness. Godly sacrifice nurtures our soul.
