On March 2, we recognize International Women’s Day—a time to celebrate women’s strength and remember those still fighting to survive. In this month’s post, we reflect on the biblical image of open palms—hands lifted in worship, ready to receive from God, and willing to give generously to others. As we consider the 2026 theme, Give to Gain, you’re invited to ask: how might your open hands become hope for a woman in need?

In a month focused on love, this post explores agape love, the kind of love God calls us to live out in action. It connects biblical love to the issue of human trafficking and invites women to respond with awareness, prayer, compassion, and practical engagement.

Justice is something that God requires of us (Micah 6:8). Human trafficking reduces God’s image-bearers to commodities that are bought and sold for a price. Trafficking is the second largest and fastest growing global crime, and the fight against trafficking often seems overwhelming. We have an opportunity to shine God’s light into one of the darkest injustices of our time. Not everyone is called to stand in the thick of the battle, but every believer is called to stand with those who do.
