Love is such a wonderful thing. There is something so special about being with someone who genuinely cares and respects you. This feeling does not simply mean a boyfriend or husband. This kind of love can be found between you and God. Here are 11 verses that the Bible says about love.
1 Corinthians 16:14 "Do everything in love."
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
Song of Solomon 8:6-7 "Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised."
1 John 4:7-8 "Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. "
Leviticus 19:18 "You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord."
Mark 12:29-31 "Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

1 John 4:17-19 "And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first."
Romans 12:9 "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good."
