The Buddha's "Four Sublime States" (Brahma Viharas) are loving kindness (metta), compassion(karuna), sympathetic joy (mudita) and equanimity (upekkha):

Sure. But Brahma's (God's) Vihara may give the impression love is something personal or generated by a 'self', just like the object of love is personal or a 'self'. Love can be another element (dhatu). For example, often when women have given birth & their breasts are full of milk, just the sound of another baby crying can cause their breasts to spontaneously spurt milk. Such 'love' is pure biology.
