The Bible tells us that love is from God. In fact, the Bible says "God is love." Love is one of the primary characteristics of God. Likewise, God has endowed us with the capacity for love, since we are created in his image.
When we love life with the love of God, love takes on a new meaning. It's not about hearts, or roses, or jewelry. It is about a cross.1 John 3:16+ reads... We know love by this, that Jesus Christ laid down his life for us--and we ought to lay down our lives for one another... let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.
Christ's love is unconditional, it is gentle, it shatters all fear, it is everlasting, it is triumphant.
When we try to define love any other way, it just doesn't work.
Perhaps, the symbol for love that we should think of is the cross.
