What is love?

Howdy! Yes, we all know that song "What is love?" from Night at the Roxbury http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpwK3vFGJp0, but no that is not what i am talking about. What is love? Love is defined as a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection for a parent, child, or friend. I believe love is more than just having strong feelings for someone or something. We read in the scriptures that "But charity is the pure love of christ and it endureth forever ..." (Moroni 7:47) Like you just read, charity is the pure love of christ, and continuing on that, the pure love of christ is to desire another's salvation over your own.
We all have people in our lives that we love, but do we really love them? Step back and ask yourself this "would i give up my happiness so that they can be happier?"
Too many times in this world is the word "love" thrown around and it has sort of lost meaning. Even i am at fault. I catch myself saying "I love that" or "I love this" ...
One thing that i do "love" or have a passion for is music, i really enjoy listening to AVA (Angels and Airwaves) and this past Valentine's Day they came out with their album "LOVE" now i don't say this because i'm bashing on them, i like their music, it's like my go-to music when i want to listen to something. There is a song on the album "LOVE" called clever love and it reads:
"Oh I know you well
All your life I've watched you breathe
I've watched you lie across the seam through space and time
Through every year of every kind
I'd wait like snow, on the eve of spring
I can out last cold, can you out last me?
Every word you say, is a perfect thing
It's the perfect time, for the perfect love

And you oh, you're all I desire
And you oh, this clever love won't tire"
This is love, true love. If you are willing to do anything for someone else, literally anything then that is love.
I think the ultimate example of love is Jesus Christ.

He gave his life for us, so that we can repent and one day return to him. He knew us all up in heaven and took on the sins of the world so that we don't have to. He's been through everything that we've been through and more. He feels our pain and knows what we are going through. Whenever you feel alone, get down on your knees and speak out to him, fall into his arms and let him help you feel his love. He loves us, all of us and he is always there. I am so thankful for that, whenever i feel like i can take on the world and shut him out, he is still there and when i fall he doesn't point and laugh and say "i told you so" he simply reaches out his hand and helps us on the path to where we want to go.
Remember love is so much more than just a four letter word.
