Not all love is good. It is self-destructive to love bad things. How many have destroyed their lives by passionately pursuing things that are wicked and destructive?
It is just as harmful to love good things in a bad order. For example, it would seem to be a good thing for a man to love his dog. But if he loves his dog more than he loves his wife, his “love” for both is disordered.
For love to be healthy, it needs to be properly ordered. Christians love the people whom God has placed into their lives. But when those people desire something that God does not desire, Christians love and serve God above all. Properly ordered love leads us to be faithful to God and his Word.
We love God above all because He first loved us.
