Love is a Verb

One of the most life-transforming verses in the Bible for me is Isaiah 58:9-11: “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will shine in the darkness, and your night will become like noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” Love is an action, not a feeling. Love is a verb, not a noun. It doesn’t magically fall into your lap or fall on you with a wave of a magic wand, like an intoxicating spell. Love begins as a feeling, but it must be cultivated with action. Fire starts with a spark, but if it is not nurtured, burns out very quickly. If it is fed with the right ingredients (carbon dioxide, oxygen, etc.) it can grow into a flame that is impossible to burn out. Love cultivated by action turns into a flame impossible to burn out, and can easily engulf anything (or anyone) to which it is directed. 
Do you have the type of relationship with Jesus that is burning and impossible to burn out, or smoldering, and it is a struggle to maintain?
