(1) Truth:- ....but rejoice in truth" 1cor 13:6. If you find it difficult to say the whole truth to your partner, that means you don't have a genuine love for him or her. A basic foundation of true love is truth. If you discover that your so called lover has been telling lies, it is a pointer to the fact that he or she does not really love you.
(2) Acceptance:-.... Do you say you love somebody and all you want him or her to do is to change everything about him/her to suit your purpose? She is dark, you want her to tone or bleach her body abit.. If she is too fat, you want her to slim down.. His room is too small small, you want him to pack to a bigger space. This only shows you are not in love.. True love accepts. Infatuation and lust want change at all cost from the other party. If you are not ready to accept your partner as he or she is or your partner want you to change almost everything about yourself, it points to lack of love.
(3) Compassion:-..... Love is affection mixed with compassion for that fellow or the tears of that Lady does not touch you. It shows you have no love.
(4) Respect:-.... The man who claim to love you has no simple respect for you, he treats you anyhow and even embarrass you publicly. It shows you are just deceiving yourself. There is honor in love. True love respects and avoid hurting the other party.
(5) Service:-..... True love seek to serve, not to be served. The questions is? What can I do for you? Not, what can you do for me? True love is ready to go the extra mile to serve the other party. But infatuation and lust seek to be served.
(6) Selflessness:-.... Lust is always selfish, it want sex to self gratification not minding the other party. True love on the other hand , is selfless, looks for ways to satisfy the other party and avoid selfish acts.
(7) Forgiveness:-.... Is not easily provoked 1cor 13:5. True love is not easily provoked be when is provoked is ready to forgive immediately.
(8) Excitement:-...... True love looks forward to seeing the other party again.she is unhappy to see him go, not because of money or sex. In fact, she is ready to pay his fare during visits! If you are engaged to somebody who is not excited to see you and is not proud to introduced you to friends and family members, you have not had a lover.
(9) Righteousness:-..... Purity is the hallmark of true love. It doesn't involved in secret kissing, dark-place meetings, street corner romance, illicit sex, embrace that embarrasses God, unholy fondling, necking and immoral practices. True love has no secrets and is as bold as lion. If holiness is lacking in your relationship, then it is not true love. It is lust, no matter how you feel about it. If your pastor must not know what you are doing behind the closed doors, if your parents must not hear about what you are doing with that guy, then it is not love. It may be hard to accept but the fact still remains that, it is lust not love. Love does not rejoice in inquity.... 1 cor 13:6
(10) Peace:-..... Have you lost your peace because you are in love? Has fear, guilt, regret and worry enveloped you because you are deeply in love. Then it is not God's type of love..God is not the author of confusion but of peace.
