When we "see" love "face to face" we will know exactly what we were to be like! Jesus modeled love for us and to actually get a glimpse of Him is to see clearly what it means to love.
I have discovered that most people I know generally only love one person…themselves. Especially in light of this chapter's definition of love, you can see that love is not selfish and always does what is in the best interest of others. There are so many qualities of true love. All of them are difficult to fully embrace. None of them are possible without the love of God being poured out in our lives.
Love is NOT a feeling! It is an action and a choice. We can love because Jesus first loved us. We only actually love when we choose to obey Jesus. Take a quality of love today, (for example, "love is patient") and focus on developing this quality in your life. Love is a gift of God. Love is developed through work and discipline.
