What comes to your mind when you think about the word "love"?
It's most probably not this:

I am patient with you because I love you and want to forgive you.

I am kind to you because I love you and want to help you.

I do not envy your possessions or your gifts because I love you and want you to have the best.

I do not boast about my attainments because I love you and want to hear about yours.

I am not proud because I love you and want to esteem you before myself.

I am not rude because I love you and care about your feelings

I am not self-seeking because I love you and want to meet your needs

I am not easily angered by you because I love you and want to overlook your offenses

I do not keep a record of wrongs because I love you , and "love covers a multitude of sins."

- from The Pursuit of Godliness, by Jerry Bridges


Hm, that's like true love, isn't it? Makes you think.
