The love or lust test – are you a lover or a luster?

Love or Lust

Love seeks the best for the object of affection at its own expense

Lust seeks the best for self at the other’s expense

Love seeks to fulfil the other’s desires

Lust seeks to fulfil self’s desires

Love feeds the other and promotes the other’s personal growth

Lust feeds ON the other and eventually consumes the other.

Love seeks empowerment to serve the other and makes no demands

Lust seeks power over the other to control the other

1 Corinthians 13

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

And thank YOU for your appreciation.

May God grant each and every one of us the discernment to differentiate between love and lust so that we never lose the understanding that love, by its very nature, is sacrificial of self. A misconception of love versus lust has led to much confusion so that current comprehension (Newspeak) has more or less replaced the concept of love with lust - the very opposite of what love really is.
