What Is Love (revised)

Back Again! So lets get straight to it! Before when I wrote about love (What Is Love? (old)) I didn't have much of an experience to write off from. I made it clear that I was still discovering the essence of it. Since then I have learned, matured, and observed so much. Now i have come to what i know to be a definite definition of Love.



What is Love?

Well the best way to find out what something is, is to first find out what it's not..
If you were taking a test, and i just walked up to you and gave you the right answer, what would you have you learned?... Nothing
So before you read ahead, if you desire to get the most out of this and make this applicable to your life, tweet me @ept_anomaly, and let me know what you believe Love is before we get started.
The thing is, Truth doesn't contradict itself, anything absolute will endure any situation. 
Truth doesn't fail, fade, or faulter, and exists outside of our own experiences, perspectives, and beliefs. 
It's not based on how we feel, what we prefer, or what we think.
When you have one truth, you will have millions of lies, (one right answer means an infinite number of wrongs).
 One correct answer means there are alot of answer that seem correct but are not.
So how do we know if what we have is true, lest we test it.
If love wasn't definable how could we say we have it, know it, or feel it?
If Love does exist, then where did this concept come from?
If we don't know what it is or can't explain it, how can we even possess it?
To define something is to make it definite, meaning it won't change once the situation has been altered.

When we can't explain an emotion, affection, or feeling, we try to use a thought. 
When we can't explain what we know, think, and imagine, we use our words
When something is indescribable, and there are no words, sentences, or speech to explain it what do we use? 
Our actions. We always revert to situations, circumstances, events and ACTIONS
Love is actions, but it is stems from feelings. You can't separate the two. 
You can't always choose how you feel but you can choose what you do.
Love is not more than actions, nor is it less than feelings, it's a combination of both. 
Love is an act of the will that is accompanied by emotions. 
That's why you feel passion but also have a choice to perform. 
Love flows from the heart and the hand simultaneously.  

My definition of Love, is not my own, I received it from the greatest Author of the greatest book of any book ever written and any author has ever written.
When we say something "is" or (=) we are saying that they are the same. 
So when you say love "is", you describe its essence & inner workings.
Likewise we substitute it for another variable/format. EXAMPLE. if A is B, and B is C, then A is also equal to C
God is love, It doesn't say God has love, will love, can love, or even does love. 
God "IS" love, God = Love. 
Its the very make-up of his character, who he is and what he does! God is not changing and doesnt change.
God is Love. So lets get deeper. Given the example above, How can we "God" someone? 
How do we know if we are in "God" with someone. 
The Same book says love is also something else. A is B is C.
1Cor13 says Love is patient, kind, gentle, longsuffering, enduring.....
Love is a barrage of characteristics you choose to do, but must have the right affections behind it.
1 Corinthians 13v3 If I give away all that i have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love i gain nothing.
