Love is patient, love is kind, it isn’t jealous, it doesn’t brag, it isn’t arrogant, it isn’t rude, it doesn’t seek its own advantage, it isn’t irritable, it doesn’t keep a record of complaints
1 Corinthians 13:4-5
When we say that we love, we must exhibit the above qualities towards those we call loved ones. Love is selfless; it places the interests of others above our own. Love is forgiving and never holds on to a grudge for too long neither does it keep track of a person’s flaws.
Our loved ones can be friends, lovers, children, acquaintances, or sometimes even strangers. God is love and he expects us to carry it in our hearts in all that we do in this life.
Every decision we make about people or any action we show towards others should be based on love. Even if we get angry with them it, should be because we love them and want to see them do well.
When you love someone, you must be willing to sacrifice anything for them. God’s love for us made him angry sometimes because we made him jealous by desiring other things he made. Even after we rejected him, he still loved us enough to save us and give us the choice of coming back to him if we want.
God tries to teach us about love by allowing us to have our own children just as He has us. Sometimes our children can grow up to resent us. The story of the prodigal son shows how a child decided to forsake his dad and go about living his own life how it pleased him.
Even though his father knew that it would be best for him to stay he allowed him to go and gave him everything that he needed. When his son decided to go back to the father he run to him and accepted him with open arms. This kind of love is what God expects from us.
We must love others regardless of their feelings towards us. We must be willing to set them free and let them live their lives how they want but we must be there for them whenever they need us. We must forgive their faults when they realize them, and we must accept them with open arms as if nothing happened.
This is the love God demonstrates to us each day. We must do the same. We pray for our loved ones and ask God to protect them because we love them and don’t want to see them hurt.

Love is of God. If we claim to love him but hate our fellow men that makes us liars. Show love in any way you can. If it is by donation or helping an old person cross the street, do it in any way you can.
Be prepared to sacrifice for your loved ones. Let them know that they can count on you no matter what kind of trouble they find themselves in. Just as we expect God to save us from all evil whether it was our own doing or not, he also expects us to be there for the people we claim to love.
We have known and have believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who remain in love remain in God and God remains in them
