There is a flip side to the concept which may shed more light on the subject. Jules has pointed out we must receive the gift willingly to enjoy it. We must also GIVE a gift willingly to enjoy giving it. And if we do not give it willingly, it is as if we never gave it, in the sight of God. Thus giver and receiver must be willing in any gift exchange which includes service. However, if I give service willingly, but the person receives it grudgingly, it does not stop me from enjoying the giving thereof. Far too often church members are more willing to give than receive.
