Disordered "love" opens us up to harm.
If we aren't careful we can elevate our love for others, making what God created the SOURCE of our love instead of Him being the source through which we love others. This often happens through the magnification of others meeting our needs, allowing them to be "god-like." This opens us up to get hurt and for us to be victimized in ways that God's love for us seeks to protect us. Or, the other extreme of that is, we become aggressors in our demand towards others to meet and gratify our desires or for our need to be the only one to gratify those things in them. Loving God first allows Him to meet our needs, and from there, He will move us into relationships so that we can love others safely.
