What is love given by God alias agape?

True love originates form God. Love unites us to god and each other.
True love does not depend on feelings but it is our decision to love our partner according to God ’s will.
Love is unconditionally giving you; it always wants what is best for the other.
Love is the wish to sacrifice one’s best for the partner. God gave His son. Son gave His life. John 3:16

Love endures everything, forgives everything; bears everything.
Love keeps no record of evil; it does not behave rudely.
Love is unconditional. It does not look at person’s limitations or wish to change the other.
Love is patient, ready to wait; it does not want to own the other or benefit from him.
Love is ready to serve and humble itself.
Love wishes to lead the other on the God’s path; it does not assist sin.
Love caresses, protects, gives strength.
Love is a wish to attach oneself to another person permanently and forever.
Love is a wish to respect, to acknowledge your partner everywhere. It is to be joyful and happy for him.
Love does not demand you to love back, but it wishes to change itself to be love worthy to the other.
Love is ready to bear the burdens, to bear the other’s worries, misery, and problems.
Love is brave to take responsibility.
Love is romantic – it is passionate. It is not a wish to satisfy oneself but to satisfy the other.
Love will last forever; it will never give up.
