Some people love, but are unable to curb their desires. The fruit of true love is taqwa, and taqwa is expressed through action.
True lovers guard their actions and desires so as to seek the pleasure of the Beloved.
And our Beloved is as-Syakur, Who apprecites even the smallest of our striving in the face of our struggles.
(An example is to eat only what is halal and tayyib (5:88)).
