The Effects of Love

When we love or encounter love, we come alive, because thats what we were made for. And, in fact, people who love, they do so because they know that they are loved.

Love brings out the best in people. Love brings out who we really are. Thats why people always say a girl looks most beautiful when shes in love. She's just being who she really is.

Perfect love casts out all fear so when people are loved unconditionally (perfect love) it makes the fear people have nonsensical. Just like a body pushes out waste, and anything that it doesn't need, or is a danger to the body, a person's spirit will push out fear in the face of love. Love makes fear of being 'you' nonsensical. Not that fear is the only thing keeping people from being who they were created to be, but love diffidently helps brings people into their full potential.

With that being said...what you do or how you are when you have been loving or being loved, is probably what you were made to do, or how you were made to be.

Have you ever seen someone in love who is angry, sad, fearful, or bored?

hhmmmm....

Maybe we were never made for any of that stuff. Of course there is good anger and sadness, but if you are angry or sad for any reason other than love, you were not made for it. For example if you are angry because people are making other people believing lies, than that is good. You love people, and don't want them to be oppressed. If you are angry because Tommy doesn't have any money so you have to pay for his dinner....you were not made for that kind of anger. Anger is there to tell you when something is wrong. It's either going to be something around you, or something in you. But you were never made to be angry outside of love, and thats why you never see anyone in love angry.

Same with sadness and fear. You were never made for it.

From the time I encountered God, and for the first time knew his pure, and genuine love for me, many people have asked me if I am high, drunk, or if they could 'have some', not understanding the reason I act the way I do. Wouldn't you appear high, too if you were able to be the person you were created to be? If you knew how much God loved you, you'd appear to be high on life, too. Why? because your fear would be gone, and you'd be able to be who God created you to be: glorious! [Jhn 17:22] You'll be happy and hopeful for seemingly no reason, and often times against reason. People's first conclusion to this is drugs, but really, its just the effects of love.
