The greatest of these is love

This week I was so worried about papers and academics but in the mist of that God has his ways of still teaching me in the mist of that.
On Tuesday there was a bible study for the youth in Youth center I was volunteering at. The topic was about forgiveness and showed a video about it. The the whole bible study went well. After the bible study I randomly started talking to one youth I never knew before. He was struggling and sharing in his group they really didn't talk about forgiveness that much ,rather about God. There where some volunteers who though the message of forgiveness of the video did not include God. I ended up telling this youth about forgiveness. The youth then started telling me his struggles and pain he was facing. At this point, I really didn't know how to approach this, but pray in my head as I was listening. To make things worst another youth, who i don't know came and started talking about his struggles and pain. I felt a burden at this point for them, I really did not know what to say to encourage them or make them believe to trust God. I was pulled away from the conversation because my ride was leaving, but I said to the two youth that I will pray for them.
In the whole car ride back to dorms, was unsettling. I felt i didn't do much but listen. the conversation on the way back was a critique of the bible study. Some said that God name was not use in the video. Others said I wish we can get the material of the bible study earlier. I said well aren't we suppose to bring God in our interaction? and agree we should get the material for bible lessons earlier. But something hit me. What's the point if you spread the gospel to youth and don't show love.
I was a alluded to this passage:
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 1 cor 13:1-3

what does it mean to love? I was in move by this passage.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 cor 13:13
