Many times [love] is ferocious, fearsome, awesome and terrible. Yes, terrible. As in causing one to tremble in reverence. That is why God is frequently described as "terrible" in scripture. Because He is. Pure love is terrible to behold. Angels are also terrible to behold on those rare occasions when they appear to people. That is because angels are fearsome, powerful, beautiful warriors who are able to stand in the full presence of God's love. This is also why the first thing out of their mouths to people are the words, "FEAR NOT". They are telling people not to be afraid because they are a fearsome, terrible sight. Love is a fearsome and terrible thing.
