Love is another great attribute, and is vital to enjoying good emotional health. Love is most helpful in that it helps you respond properly to life's challenges. You may know what you should do, but it is love that allows you to do it wilfully and cheerfully. Love is the greatest motivator, and helps you to do things for the right reasons. Love is an action and a decision, and is based on commitment. Another important reason for an understanding of love is that according to the Bible, perfect love casts out all fear. (1 Peter 4:18) If perfect love casts out all fear, then it would do us good to learn about love so that we can maximize its benefits in our lives. Love is vitally important for another reason, it helps us to forgive the people who hurt us, and in so doing introduced us to the lies that have caused our emotional pain.
