When we become believers our priorities are changed. Our inner person desires to be more like Christ–in every aspect of life. The love of God, which is the highest of all Christian virtues, takes up residence in our heart. This type of love is a generous, unselfish, sacrificing type of love. It is a love that is given even if it is undeserved, misunderstood, rejected, trampled on, and not returned.
