1 Corinthains 13:8- 8:28 -"Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous, it does not put on airs, it is not snobbish. Love is never rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not prone to anger; neither does it brood over injuries. Love does not rejoice in what is wrong but rejoices with the truth. There is no limit to love's forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to endure. Love never fails. Prophecies will cease, tongues will be silent, knowledge will pass away.  

Romans 13:8 tells of our duty to love others-"Owe no debt to anyone except the debt that binds us to love one another. He who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.  'You shall not commit adultery; you shall not murder; you shall not steal; you shall not covet," and any other commandment there may be are all summed up in this, "You shall love your neighbor as youself." "Love never wrongs the neighbor, hence love is the fulfillment of the law. "

Romans 8:28 tells again, of GOD's love for man-"Excellence of the Gift of Love. No I will show you the way which surpasses all the others. If I speak with juman tongues and angelic as well, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and, with full knowledge, comprehend all myseries, if I have faith great enough to move mountains, but have not love, I am noghing. If I give eerything I have to feed the poor and hand over my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing" 

Romans 8:28 tells of GOD's love for man- "We know that GOD makes all things work together for the good of those who love GOD and are called according to His decree." 

So Loving GOD and responding to GOD's Love by loving ourselves is the perfection of the law! So by asking GOD through prayer for more love, one can love GOD more and others.
