Some people think love is that nice, squishy feeling you get when you think of or see one you love. But, love in it's true form is not a feeling,
The Bible points out that love is patient, kind, not seeking after it's own, etc., in the famous 1 Cor. 13. Whenever you see the idea of love in the Bible, it is about action, not squishy feelings.
Jesus loved us so much, He died for us. He loves us so much, He rose again, always there for us.
There is a passionate side to love, but love is nothing without walking it out. I do for my family because I love them.
Above all, love is unconditional. If we go by those squishy feelings, that puts a condition on who we love, right? Or, we love someone when we feel loving toward them and not when we are mad at them. This idea has led to many divorces.
Look at how Christ has loved us and you will see a good example of love.

What is According to:
Christians, as I once did, boast about the Gospels according to Matthew, according to Mark, according to Luke and according to John. However, if we think about it, there is not a single Gospel according to Jesus himself. According to the preface of the KJV (King James Version) new open Bible study edition, the word "Gospel" was added (see below) to the original titles, "According to John, according to Matthew, according to Luke and according to Mark."
If you read Luke 1:2-3, you will learn, as I did, that Luke (who was not one of the 12 disciples and never met Jesus) said that he himself was not an eyewitness, and the knowledge he gathered was from eyewitnesses, and not as words inspired by God. Incidentally, why does every "Gospel" begin with the introduction According to. Why "according to?" the reason for this is because not a single one of the gospels carries its original author’s autograph! Even the internal evidence of Matthew 9:9 proves that Matthew was not the author of the first Gospel which bears his name:
"And as Jesus passed forth thence, He (Jesus) saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and He (Jesus) saith unto Him (Matthew), follow me (Jesus). And he (Matthew) arose, and followed Him (Jesus)."
Without any stretch of the imagination, one can see that the He’s and the Him’s of the above narration do not refer to Jesus or Matthew as its author, but a third person writing what he saw or heard - a hearsay account and not words inspired by God.

the loves of your life will... love you for who your are and not hate you for what your not, your friends and familly will help you to become want . You should be aware of the price for this..... and that is, to do the same for them. And as for lover or fathers/mother of your children and the keeper of your ancesters grave, must know you and love you and cherish you and enjoy you, ups, downs, good, bad and the ugly and the price is( guess what) you must do the same. Love is an understanding and an acceptance of what we are and want to be. nothing more and nothing less. Goodness comes from within and we all know what we have got to do.

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails
1 Cor 13:4

Love is not a feeling. Love is an action that makes sacrifices for the benefit of others.

Hmmm, a hackneyed word that some people just cannot get over being a constellation of different emotions and concepts that vary by context. It's a word people love to throw around when they want to appear *deep* - and you know you do it (we all love to appear to be deep from time to time).

When another persons happiness, health, etc. mean more to you than your own, that is love.
