Real love doesn’t say that I am ‘in’ love with you. I never understood why people said that. This implies the possibility of one day being ‘out’ of

love. Heart love is simply, I love you. That’s it. No escape clauses necessary. The phrase falling in love suits this illusion quite well, because they are indeed falling into an emotional trap or hole, whereas with real love, you are rising to it.

@dark548 Fearing the Lord means to be in reverent awe of His holiness, to give Him complete reverence and to honor Him as the God of great glory, majesty, purity and power. For example, when God revealed Himself to the Israelites at Mount Sinai through “thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast,” they all “trembled” in fear (Ex 19:16) because of His great power. They even begged Moses to deliver God’s message to them so they would not have to encounter God Himself (Ex 20:18-19; Dt 5:22-27). Also, when the psalm writer reflects on God as Creator, he says: “Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere Him. For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm” (Ps 33:8-9).

@SW-User idk fear sounds like poor choice of wording in the bible that can be confusing, wouldn't respect of the lord be more better?

When I hear fear i think of running away from something not loving it or standing there in awe.
