What is love may seem to not be love.

  I have not loved enough to speak truthfully because I was afraid of what people would think of me.   I have been silent while others deceived people into behaving in ways that ultimately hurt them.    I have been silent while others taught God was not Who He Is. Love will always speak and act truthfully, even if you take offense, even if you no longer think I am your "friend"

If love is perceived as not love, it is not the fault of love. It's the fault of the understanding.

Not all those that love are able to communicate the reason(s) why they do what they do. This creates the ability for you to misunderstand the reason(s) why they do what they do.

and the earth is my footstool.

What kind of house will you build for me?

says the Lord.

Or where will my resting place be?

they ( certain religiously indoctrinated people ) all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.

While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep. (Acts 7)
