what does it mean to say "i love you"

It's funny how you think of things at the weirdest times...but a great time for self reflection and introspection is when you're exercising.also a good time to speak to God.

what do I mean when I say I love you? [as Christians, the love we speak of should be the love we are called to love others with right?]
we say "I love you" many times in our lives to many different people. love has 7 types, so does this mean that we mean a different thing each time we use this ubiquitious phrase?

to love is...
to accept regardless of their idiosyncracies
to forgive and give grace without end
not to judge or form opinions
to listen and understand
to comfort, support and build up

in the weirdest of times, i suddenly feel as though i can't say those words, because i don't know what i mean when i say it. its scary to doubt yourself like that, when things seem to be a bed of roses...
