It doesn't stop. If you haven't been loving, start. If you have been, keep it up.
It's real. Show both sides of the coin -- try loving someone behind his or her back today, and then face to face, too. No hypocrisy here. (Romans 12:9)
It's not about you. Love makes others look good, even to themselves. Make people important. (Romans 12:10.)
It comes from the inside. Having trouble? Ask God to clean your heart, your conscience, and your faith. If your heart is dirty, your love will be, too. (1 Timothy 1:5)
It's intentional and mature. Once you've got your inside clean, make a point of letting it show. Just say no to your inner child! Love on other people and with other people. (2 Timothy 2:22)
It pleases God. Yeah, and that's the best part. (2 Cor. 6:4,6)
