You wouldn't think that fear and love relate but they actually do. I have a friend who is becoming a nurse and she said something very interesting at bible study that made me start thinking. She took a mental health course and said that a person makes decisions based on fear or based on love. We're reading an amazing book called Passion and Purity by Elizabeth Elliot. So I've been thinking a lot about that concept. If we make our decisions based on fear then those decisions can't truely be good for us can they?
Take a person's self-esteem for example. If a person doesn't feel like they can be with someone who is prettier or better than them, will they raise their standards to be with them? No, they will give into their fear of rejection and lower their standards. Where as a person who makes decisions based on love will have a very different outcome. They will have a better sense of self-confidence and genuine care for others.
I have a lot of thoughts going through my mind but I thought this was an interesting theory to think about.
I really should blog more but unfortunately I have had like no time. Crazy crazy life.
