Love always gives of itself to its beloved.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..."

The self-giving love of YHWH revealed in Genesis 15:1 appears to be an Old Testament example and precursor of that same sentiment, later clarified in John 3:16. God loves His Chosen people and gives them not just objective blessing from on high. He actually gives them Himself, in order to bless, as any true lover, following His example does.
