Jesus is our example of what love looks like in day to day living. He was kind even to his enemies exemplified by washing Judas' feet (John 13:2-27). Yet he spoke plainly to his enemies about their faults as we hear in his conversations with the Pharisees (John 9:39-41).
He obeyed the laws (Matthew 22:15-21). He honored the poor (Matthew 19:29; Mark 12:42-44). Yet he never forgot who he was ( John 12:8; 13:3-5; 16:28). He did not take the praise of men to his heart (John 2:23-25; 6:14-15).
He responded kindly to those who came to him with pure hearts and was direct to those who tried to trap him (John 8:1-11). He sought out the outcast of society (John 4), and answered honest questions of the wealthy (John 3:1-21; 20:38-40).
In other words, love is not deceptive, manipulative or blind.
