God gives us many different instructions on love. He tells us the traits that love has. He even tells us how often and whom we are to love. But he never hells us how we are supposed to express our love.
With the billions of different personalities in the world, God doesn't tell us to express our love in the same way. Some people express love by giving. Others by spending time. Some people with money. Others with words or touch. None the less it doesn't mean one person loves more or less than the other. With expressing love differently we still have basic rules to follow.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 AMP
Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. [5] It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it it pays no attention to a suffered wrong. [6] It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. [7] Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything without weakening. [8] Love never fails never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end.
No matter how you show your love it must follow God's guidelines in order to be real!
