The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
Psalm 103:8
slow to anger, abounding in love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
1 Corinthians 13:4-6
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:8
Reflect on your love: where is it focused? What does it look like? Who does it reach out to? Where does it come from?
Godly love is a Spiritual practice, not just a fickle emotion. It is an intentional result of imitating the divine qualities of God. If we want to be godly, we must be overflowing with the best kind of love.
