God's Love and Vodka on the Rocks

Gods love and vodka on the rocks please?"

Why do we feel compelled to measure love with a touch, an action or
series of actions? Why do we first place guidelines on love for one
another then use that as an excuse of why it's so hard to accept
"God's way of love"?

Can we truly embrace God's love in and of itself and then change and
form our way of loving one another to be more in line with real love?
I compare love to cranberry juice we start off with a very cran-grape
idea of what love is. Somewhere along life it turns to a cran-vodka
with bitterness for love and a lack of understanding for it's true
nutritional value so we poison it just to become intoxicated, "but
let's throw a little love in the mix to make the poison go down
easier" (sex). Or it turns to a cranberry juice cocktail, its sweet
enough to take down but bitter enough to make us feel like we really
get the benefits. But no it's still from concentrate and really if 20
percent is real juice/love then what is the rest? The rest is a
concation of taste good that appeals to our personal senses that makes
us feel like it's ok to drink down. Have u ever had real cranberry
juice 100 percent cranberry juice? That would be God's love and its
so hard to swallow when you are used to cran-grape, vodka, cocktail.
So you get a sip and u turn away because u don't know if u can handle
it. What if our tastebuds were always used to the pure juice, we
wouldn't have tastebuds for the cocktail. We would not dare poison it.
We would not add sugar and grape flavoring. How do we get there? How
do we get the taste for God's pure love and then love others and
accept love from others in that way?
