Christ's love is Agape Love --

. . . selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional. Is that how you love God or do you just kind of like Him?
Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Dissimulation is hypocrisy. In order to have an earthly spiritual love life with Christ, we need conviction. Abhor evil and cling to that which is good. Real love is not a wishy-washy emotional experience.
Our problem with conviction is that its not as strong as it used to be. We've become desynthesized to sin because of the world we live in. It doesn't affect us like it used to. 
Agape Love may be seen in how you treat people, preferring others over yourself. Kindness and a positive outlook glows on you no matter what happens. A broken love breaks the heart of Agape Love.
You need to be excited about what God is doing for you. Something is wrong with your spiritual love life if negative attitudes replace enthusiasm for Christ.
Are you walking with Him -- following His will, or are you ambling down your own trail?
