God wants us to love him with all we have. He wants us to love him on our good days, bad days, and our mediocre days. When we feel like it and when we don't. Deuteronomy 6:5 KJV And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. This it true love.
Love is not just a feeling. The butterflies are jitters that you get when your mate is around in not the love that God talks about. That's fleshy love. That love gratifies our flesh. Real love is a state of being and doing. It is respect, actions, sacrifices, and blamelessness. The Bible tells us to love our enemies. If this were meant to be with the fleshy love it would be impossible. We wouldn't get butterflies or jitters when they came around. So if its not the fleshy love then what is it? It is a respect for that person. They may not like you, they may lie on you, or even try bodily harm to you but loving them means you will forgive the wrongs. You will not hold a grudge. Love is also doing for others and sacrificing so others can have. Look at God he made the ultimate sacrifice for us. If that's not love then I don't know what is. Oh, and guess what God doesn't even ask us to make a sacrifice that big!
If you want more definitions of Godly love then read 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
