>Love
Feelings of affection.
It is not something you "deserve" it is something you earn. By being lovable in the first place. That could be being someone's adored child, someone's admired by people for how and what he is, did and does. If you think you are deserving of Love then you better be lovable in the first place.
"I deserve to be loved" is an egoistic exclamation akin to "it should have been me instead".
>respect
Which has two grades; basic and advanced.
Basic respect is the one given to a stranger & compatriote. It is simple politeness and consideration according to one's position. Unless you are recognized as a "outsider", an "enemy", a "failure" or a "criminal" it is usually expected by virtually everyone for pretty much everyone.
Advanced respect is the one you give to people based on their feats and how much they are considered respectable. A hero, a genius, a great general, a champion ect... even if the feat is small they still receive high respect for their achievements.

Strength is the output of power. Power is active potentiality.
Power can be resilience, it can be vigour, it can be spirit, it can be mind.
Strengthening is giving or actualizing power and its output. Weakening would be taking away power or unactualizing it.

Strength isn't so much as "not changing" as it is "resisting change". To withstand opposite subduing change.
Love strengthens someone's resolve, sharing love strengthens bonds. Respect also strengthens a different kind of bond on a different scale, it strengthens someone's confidence.
Love often implies care and care is what you describe as "wilfully strengthening" or rather maintaining someone's strength and well-being. But care can mean seeing someone's untapped potential or misguided/wrongful actions and seeking to change them which may result in conflict. It's not always lack of respect tho respect may be lost if no change is sought. Lost from disapointment
