Love vs. Lust
Last Read: |
When the Lord first started giving me a desire to be married again, He took me to 1 Corinthians 13, a chapter that we are all familiar with. He took me down through the verses and showed me the difference between love and lust in a relationship. Since then I have tried to continually make sure that I am relating to men with love rather than lust because I love the Lord with my whole heart and never want to grieve Him. Below is what He showed me: Love vs. Lust (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a, 14:1a) Love is patient; lust is impatient. Love is kind; lust is unkind. Love does not envy; lust envies. Love does not boast; lust boasts. Love is not proud; lust is proud. Love is not rude; lust is rude. Love is not self-seeking; lust is self-seeking. Love is not easily angered; lust is easily angered. Love keeps no records of wrongs; lust keeps records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil; lust delights in evil. Love rejoices with the Truth; lust hates the Truth. Love always protects; lust always uncovers. Love always trusts; lust always distrusts. Love always hopes; lust always destroys hope. Love always preserves; lust always destroys. Love never fails; lust always fails. Embrace the way of Love; renounce the way of lust! |

Hi Jeanie: You can understand a person's concept of Christ by how they put their love in action (John 14:15). You can tell if they are christians by their love (John 13:35). John 15:10 "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." Here's to agape in action, Patti

That is perfect. I have been on my own for a very long time (nearly eighteen years) because I inadvertently married a man who claimed to be Christian but was more lustful than loving. It was an abusive relationship I took a long time to get out of. How scary it is to try again and how hard it is to be lonely. God bless. I am grateful to see both women and men blogging and discussing these things - maybe I can be more ready to ensure GOD is in charge of my next relationship. God bless.
