To love is to be committed to the growth of the other. This always requires at least the temporary ability for self-transcendence.
We are divinely hardwired for giving as self-transcendence. God in the meditations of the mystics reveals herself as a giver, not a taker.
The very formation of the world is motivated according to the Kabbalah by a divine love expressed in an infinite desire to give.
If there is any need in God — it is the need to be a giver. Our own deeply felt need to give is our overwhelming desire to incarnate the God point in our lives.
To give is to be like God.
