love is clearly, considered the greatest virtue. however, it is not easy to measure love, especially because the world today has such a distorted concept of what love is. many think that love is simply an emotion. while emotions certainly may be attached to biblical love, love is primarily an act of the will. He commands us to love, first Him and then our neighbours. it's a command.

we can be loving irregardless of emotions. we can choose to face our circumstances in a loving manner even when we do not want to. we can love those who are unlikeable.
