Herein is LOVE, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. This kind of love is shown to unlovable, difficult people; the set of people who will not reciprocate your kind gesture. Love is not waiting for others to care for you first, it's being proactive in your action of love. It's acting without expecting anything in return. When love is attached to what I can get, it's not love anymore, it's selfishness.
The God kind of love we're talking about is selfless; it's for 100% good of others because everything God did was for our benefits. Love is not love unless it's selfless. Be generous in your giving to others. Also, be generous in your giving to God without expecting more blessing. If we give to God in order to bless us more, that is called bribery or selfishness, that is not love. Remember, God has already blessed us with everything we will ever need for life and godliness, so we don't need to bribe him.
Don't give for the purpose of getting something in return; if we do, we won't be different from the politicians. Give with generous heart. Give passionately and selflessly because that is the major way of showing love to others. Show selfless love to your spouse, strangers , siblings, workers etc. It's the major way of making this world a better place to be.
