Can and should love overcome all fears?

Question

And if it doesn't, is it really just puppy love, and one should move on from that person?

Answer 1

Love does conquer all. But it is a double edged sword. With the person you love and loves you in return everything is posibble but if you lose that person everything seems worthless.

Answer 2

Love can overcome anything. I'll give you one example: A woman's teenage son is killed by another teenage boy. At the trial, the woman stood up and said, "I want to kill you." The boy was found guilty. After some time passed, the woman and her son's teen started corresponding with each other. They grew close. The boy in prison had little family, and the family he had was very dysfunctional. When the time came for the boy to be released from prison, he had nowhere to live. So the woman said he could live with her, since she had an extra room to spare. When the boy arrived at the home, the woman asked the boy if he remembered what she had said in court. He did. "Well," she said, "I feel I did what I said I would do. I killed the boy you used to be. You are now a new person." Even with all her pain, the woman had faith that love could change an angry boy's heart. Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and many others felt the same, and succeeded. While love does not always succeed in overcoming fear, one thing is for sure: fear cannot succeed in overcoming fear. Peace.

Answer 3

No, love is wonerful. It brings great joy and great pain and frequently at the same time for the same things. Love is deciding to have faith and give it a try despite the fear. Hoping that the reward is worth it. Love overcomes those fears after many many years and the fear of loss will always be there. You are asking this question about a particular person, that fear means that you have great desire to have this person love you back. Its a good thing, go for it. A broken heart heals, and its worth the risk.

Answer 4

The Word of God says that perfect love casts out fear. But what is perfect love? 1. Established and defined by God, 2. Christ is the only perfect love, 3. translates in us as our First Love (Christ) expressed to others as a deep, intensity of Spirit for God's absolute eternal best in and for the other person. So that explains "perfect love" (notice so selfish, carnal stuff in it). Then it says that it "casts out" - requiring power and authority to forcibly remove in-spite of resistance. And the object that is removed is "fear," or the self centered, self controlling, doubt producing emotion that blinds, stifles, and denotes a lack of faith and surrender to God. So how does all that apply to a romantic relationship (which I assume is the point of your question)......If God is your first love, you will not get caught up in a relationship that He is displeased with, or that "turns your heart" from wholly following Him. And you will sincerely seek His guidance in it. You will "cast out" everything that would produce sin in the relationship and damage God's image in it....for the sake of God's ultimate eternal best in the other person (as well as yourself). And then "fear" will have no place because you will be pursuing a blessed relationship in the will of God and in a manner that pleases Him which will create the atmosphere of Faith that overcomes all. Hope this helped. God Bless.

Answer 5

have you really been in love? because if not you wouldn't understand. being in love you feel you can take on the world. Love is what makes us show others compassion and what makes us bear another messed up day. Love is what made Him and makes everyone else give up their lives for others. So with that it even overcomes death itself.

Answer 6

fear comes from all different directions beginning with our infancy. for many it is a lifelong process to discover the causes and then to deal with them. love can overpower much but it is NOT the cureall for all fear unless you are VERY healthy emotionally and also very lucky. love is empowering in some many ways and if the love is sure it is NOT a good idea to move on because you have fear!!! it means you should consider psychotherapy to deal with your issues.

Answer 7

true love can be powerful, but believe it or not, it does NOT mean the all your fears will end.
it can give your more fears actually, since you will be constantly thinking about your lover.
i, at least, do not believe in one love one life. so yes, move on because there WILL be someone else.

Answer 8

Firm belief on Allah almighty and hereafter, ones good deeds, make someone overcome all fears.
