You love someone in a way you connect when you look in each other’s eyes. There is a spark you feel when you touch the other person that gives you goose bumps. You have this relationship you want to build between each other. Where you and the other person has things in common: outdoors: hiking, biking, snowboarding, bowling, church, and kayaking. When you find things like that it makes loving someone much easier. Sometimes it might take a while to let someone in. Once you do have that trust with that person you love, you can do anything together like climb the golden gate bridge, bungee jump off a bridge, go sky diving, and jump off a helicopter in to a cave.
In a way god has showed us how in the bible. In the first commandment he says to "honor your father and mother". In the Deuteronomy 5:16 "Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you". So when the lord has commanded you to this of what he has asked you should obey. Then the lord will know that you love him in return. Prov.17: 17 say, “A friend loves at all times.” Prov.18: 24 say, “There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.” Prov.27: 6 say, “When a friend rebukes you, that rebuke can be trusted.” Prov.27: 9 says, “The pleasantness of having a friend springs from his earnes counsel.” Prov.27: 10 say, “Do not forsake your friend.” God can see that he wants us to make friendships with others that we don't show a lot of affection. In John 4:7-12 God's life-giving love, then, is the theme of this passage. As John develops this theme, he makes three important points: God is the source of all love (4:7-8); God models what genuine love is (4:9-10); and God commands us to love each other (4:11-12). Now you can see how God loves us and how we love.
