I am now compelled through the inner most self to conclude that since God is love, the definitions of love that the apostle Paul left us are portraits of the very being of God. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I also want to boldly suggest that not only are these explications of God accurate, they are qualities we also radiate by having the anointing in us. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. Through the personal experience of God's love we are receiving confirmation that we are born of God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
