The dictionary describes love as "a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person." Whilst that may be true, it's not possible to guarantee these feeling towards someone all the time and to love them without fail; and its certainly true that we don't feel this kind of love towards everyone we meet.The Bible describes love in this scripture:
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends." John 15:13
If you believe the Bible, it states there is no greater love than the one found in this scripture. Jesus showed greater love by sacrificing his self in our place and holding us higher than His own life.
I believe we can do the same when we sacrifice ourselves for others, not litterally, but when we sacrifice our wants and desires and put others before ourselves we can show greater love. I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't have warm fuzzy feelings while he was being nailed to the cross, but yet He choose to love us by His actions. We too can show this greater kind of love, even if we don't "feel it" by choosing to operate in God's kind of love.
