A sermon on giving versus taking in relationships with God and others. The speaker argues that if you're not coming to give your life, time, and energy, you're coming to take. In marriage, both spouses must prioritize each other's needs; selfishness destroys both the relationship and the capacity to love.

Watch this. If you love God, you didn't come to God— oh my God— to take from him. You came to give. You came to give your life. You came to give your time. You came to give your purpose. You came to give your energy. You didn't come to take. Because watch this, anybody that comes into your life, if they did not come to give, they came to take. I wish I had some help here. And you gotta find people that show up to give. Let me help you single people, you want to be married? Marriage is all about giving. Glory to the name. If you ain't ready to be a giver, you might not— you might ought to rethink marriage, because marriage is always about the other person. Watch this. If both spouses would realize this is about both of us, and it's— and then in my mind, I gotta always think this thing is about her, and if she's thinking it's about him, guess what? We're gonna always have a successful marriage. But the moment I get selfish Not only am I putting marriage in jeopardy, but I've also ceased to love. 'Cause guess what? Love is not selfish. Love ain't never selfish, it's always giving.
