Without a doubt, true love is appreciated wherever we go. The love that can make a real difference in life is that described by the Bible writer Paul: “Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.”—1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
Yes, “love never fails.” Love heals. Love unites. Love is shown not just by words but by unselfish actions. Love has a pure motive. Paul also wrote: “If I give all my belongings to feed others, and if I hand over my body, that I may boast, but do not have love, I am not profited at all.” If we make sacrifices or give gifts just to be seen by others, then from God’s viewpoint it is in vain.—1 Corinthians 13:3.
Jesus put it this way: “When you go making gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you, just as the hypocrites do . . . that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, They are having their reward in full. But you, when making gifts of mercy, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing.” Yes, love does not boast or brag.—Matthew 6:2, 3.
What Is Love?
One description of love is ‘a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, a warm fondness or liking for another.’ It is a quality that moves people to work for the good of others, sometimes at great personal sacrifice. Love, as it is described in the Bible, involves both the mind and the heart. The mind, or intellect, plays a role because a person who loves does this with his eyes open, recognizing that he and other humans that he loves all have weaknesses as well as attractive qualities. The intellect is further involved since there are those whom a Christian loves—sometimes, perhaps, against his natural inclinations—because he knows from his reading of the Bible that God wants him to do so. (Matthew 5:44; 1 Corinthians 16:14) Still, love basically comes from the heart. Genuine love as it is revealed in the Bible is never merely intellectual. It entails deep sincerity and full emotional commitment.—1 Peter 1:22.
People who are selfish at heart are rarely capable of a truly loving relationship because a person who loves is prepared to put the interests of another ahead of his own. (Philippians 2:2-4) Jesus’ words “there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving” are especially true when the giving is an act of love. (Acts 20:35) Love is a powerful bond. (Colossians 3:14) It often includes friendship, but the bonds of love are stronger than those of friendship. The romantic relationship between a husband and his wife is sometimes described as love; however, the love that the Bible encourages us to cultivate is more enduring than physical attraction. When a couple truly love each other, they remain together even if a physical relationship is no longer possible because of the infirmities of old age or because one of them is incapacitated.

Dear brothers and sisters, what's the use of saying you have faith if you don't prove it by your actions? That kind of faith can't save anyone. Suppose you see a brother or sister who needs food or clothing, and you say, "Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat well" - but then you don't give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith. Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all - it is dead and useless. - James chapter 2
Love is just word, is the action that count..what can you do for the love..what you get from a love, what is the feeling when you in love..what is the feel when you being love...The action itself that bring the meaning of the "LOVE"

Agape love - The love of the Holy Bible. Striving for the other persons highest (greatest) good or benefit.
This is the love that we should have for each other.
Not the love of the world which is better defined as LUST.

Love is a will. Your action to place before anything or anyone.
1 Corinthians 13 is the written Word of love; but every person needs to make it so internal that they don't just recite words but define it for themselves so they can act on it for themselves.

Ever when you consider that i became little and til on the present time i have always called my mum "Mummy" and my dad "Daddy". purely because they not in any respect responded to "mum"/"dad". and that is always stuck, i assume. similar with my siblings, too. I swear each and every time my mom calls me at artwork, and that i answer saying "hi, mummy", i'm getting the most strangest seems from my artwork colleagues. They always discover that hilarious and oftentimes take the mic. and that i will actually see why that is humorous lol yet, it isn't in any respect replaced, and that i doubt that is going to. mom and father will always be Mummy and Daddy. And specially because they gained't respond to at least something else from their little ones! : )

well love isnt something that can be described in words it is as deep as the ocean it can take your whole lifetime to define love.
But to me love is...... love for my parents that feeling of guilt that creeps in when i do something that i'm afraid might hurt them u know not because im afraid that they'll scold me but because of the love i have got from them....... love , love for my boyfriend when we meet and dont even say a word but that love exists between us just the feeling is enough that's love for me!
Well love is something that's hard to find i mean TRUE love so if you ever get it i suggest just take good care of it and dont ever lose it. Good luck!

Love is the selfless act of putting the needs, well-being, and happiness of another before your own...it is compassion and generosity, warmth and kindness, gentleness and affection, truth and trust, respect and sincerity. It is comforting, supportive, protective, and patient...and it is always given, never taken.
