Agape love doesn't come from God as something separate from Him, that He doles out to His children like some sort of spiritual currency, but is
God Himself. God
is (agape) love (
1 John 4:8, 16), which means when He gives us His love, He is giving us
Himself. God does this in the Person of the Holy Spirit who "sheds abroad the love of God in our hearts" (
Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22).
What is "true love"? God never says in His word anything about "true love" but He does describe what He means by love: an over-riding
desire for Him, for fellowship with Him. See:
Psalm 42:2; Psalm 63:1; Psalm 84:2; Psalm 143:6; Philippians 3:7-11. Out of this desire arises the sort of self-sacrificing action Paul the apostle described in
1 Corinthians 13:4-8:
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends...
When a believer desires God above all else, putting aside anything that hinders a pursuit and experience of Him, they submit to His Spirit and are then, over time, filled, or completed, or perfected by the Holy Spirit. This is marked by an ever-increasing desire - love - for God that overrides everything else in the believer's life and by the life of the Spirit being more and more in evidence in the believer's conduct in supernatural patience, kindness, holiness, endurance, truthfulness, etc.
The love God commands of us, the over-riding desire for Him that He commands us to have, is not a sentimental, semi-romantic emotion, a feeling of weepy affection. We all have many things we desire that are not accompanied by such emotions or feelings. When I desire a drink of water, for example, I don't have a sentimental, vaguely romantic feeling about water, I don't have a mushy emotion of affection for it. I trained in the martial arts for thirty years because I loved the training, but I never once had a warm, mushy feeling about it. Instead, my love - my strong, overriding desire - for the training showed up in a persistent and consistent participation in the training, despite broken teeth, torn tendons, dislocated joints, monetary expense, physical exhaustion, and so on. Love, then, isn't a feeling we have, though feelings might arise from love, but strong, positive desire.
