Love always gives. Genesis 24, John 3:16, and Revelation 21 shows how godly relationships are marked by trust, open-handed surrender, and sacrificial love. Whether in marriage, friendship, parenting, or the church, we are called to stop asking, “What can I get?” and start asking, “What can I give?”
