Give or Take

In this brief letter, John paints a clear contrast between two men—Gaius the giver and Diotrephes the taker. One opened his hands; the other closed his heart. One walked in truth; the other twisted it for his own pride. One built up the work of God; the other tore it down. The question we each have to answer is simple but searching: which one am I becoming? May we, like Gaius, be known for our faithfulness when it’s hard, our generosity when it costs, and our sincerity when no one’s watching. Because when we live that way, we don’t just make an impact —we shine as “fellowhelpers to the truth,” bringing joy to others and glory to Christ.
