"Love is the very essence of the gospel, and Jesus Christ is our Exemplar. His life was a legacy of love...
There are many attributes which are manifestations of love, such as kindness, patience, selflessness, understanding, and forgiveness."
Love—the Essence of the Gospel
By President Thomas S. Monson
He then quotes a poem:
I have wept in the night
For the shortness of sight
That to somebody’s need made me blind;
But I never have yet
Felt a tinge of regret
For being a little too kind.

1 John 4 a few of my favorites :
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
