Some percive love as an action and others as a figurative subject. What is its true nature? Is it its purpose? or its an expression as an example of our ultimate imperfection(unforgiveness, denial, acceptance, content ect.)

Love can be an action. Love can not act also when thats the best thing for the object it loves.

true nature? i dont understand that unless you mean its attributes. I cor 13 shows a tad of its attributes.

Is it its purpose? do you mean is loves purpose to love? that would be yes according to its attributes.

Love can be expressed but true love doesnt have a thing to do with our imperfections ...unless you mean in our imperfections we the more seem to long for expressing true love for its beauty and perfections.

ok i winged it there:cool:

by the way love has many divisions for example Gods love for us...our love to others, a mate, and child etc
did you have A certain love in mind?

true love was made up by Disney to deceive people, create divorce, and ruin the testimony of the Church!

jk, that is just a passing opinion of mine, it is not based in fact at all.
I'm probably just thinking like that because of a recent break-up.

But honestly, God's love is true.
From my limited experience, love between a man and a woman is 50% attraction, 50% compatibility, and 100% effort. Even if attraction or compatibility fail, enough effort can be put in to bring it up to 100% and make a great relationship.

Love is like limitless water, it takes on many forms. Each man is like a glass. No matter what shape, what size, and what thickness of the cup is. Water always surrounds the depths, fits the shape, and overflows abundantly.

Jesus is that living water my friend, the water that He gives us will become in us a well of water springing to eternal life.

heard a pastor say one time that the world's version of love is always agreeing with me, never saying anything negative, telling me every idea is a good idea, and saying if I do wrong it is o.k. Gods true love for us says you are not always right, you are messing up so stop messing up and turn to me. God loves us enough to hurt our feelings so we will turn to him.

Whatever someone desire or treasured the most.

Exodus 19:5
Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine,

Deuteronomy 7:6
For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.

Deuteronomy 14:2
for you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.

Deuteronomy 26:18
And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 10:15
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.

John 13:38
Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!

Luke 22:31
“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.

Luke 8:13
Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.

Matthew 26:41
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

It seems to be a feeling acting in the possitive. >Something like Ruth approaching Boaz. Something like an old man marrying a nice looking young woman. Something like Sara wiiling to get joy and have a baby with her spouse. Sure I don`t know what it is!

Ruth 1:5both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.

Ruth 1:16
But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.

Deuteronomy 31:8
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Ruth 1:20
“Don’t call me Naomi,” she told them. “Call me Mara, because the Almighty has made my life very bitter.

Ruth 4:14
The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel!


Ruth 4:16
Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him.

Ruth 4:17
The women living there said, “Naomi has a son!” And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

So love is submissive or is it demanding? so if it submissive then love is weak and if its demanding then its manipulative.

The truest love I have ever known is the love I have for my children.
When you have children, you better understand the Love God has for His children.

Love is not lust. Love is liking a very unlikable person, love is willing to die for someone who hates you. Love chastises even when they don't want to. Love wants everything, including your soul.

True love is "Love your fellow as yourself."
