Real Love or Transaction: When Does Giving Become a Scorecard?

Watch the video and try her journal prompt with a specific experience in mind.
From Transaction to Transformation: What Helps a Relationship Grow?

Pastor Vicky contrasts a running tab of favors with the possibility of a relationship that develops through care and commitment.
