Love Vs Lust

Lust - sinful longing; the inward sin which leads to the falling away from God (Rom. 1:21). "Lust, the origin of sin, has its place in the heart, not of necessity, but because it is the centre of all moral forces and impulses and of spiritual activity." In Mark 4:19 "lusts" are objects of desire.

Love is patient.
Lust can't wait; it's impulsive.
Love is kind.
Lust is cruel, critical, manipulative.
Love does not envy.
Lust seeks more than it earns.

Lust is easily threatened.
Love is not rude.
Lust is disrespectful and thoughtless.
Love is not self-seeking.
Lust is demanding and uncaring.
Love is not easily angered.
Lust is temperamental and retaliates.
Love keeps no record of wrong.
Lust does not forget offenses.
Love does not delight in evil.
Lust commits wrong to get its own way; it rationalizes

Lust encourages lies and covers misdeeds.
Love always protects.
Lust takes to gain its own end and lacks concern for others.
Love always trusts.
Lust is suspicious and jealous.
Love always hopes.
Lust always takes chances at your expense.
Love always perseveres.
Lust backs out when it's no longer convenient.
Love never fails; it's constant and enduring.
Lust ceases when self is no longer served; it's fickle, insecure, unfaithful.

This is worth some serious think-through...

Dol-awass-eo • Back I think that’s what it means la. Act cool only. 😂  This picture's got nothing to do with this post, but I happy just want to put it here la...#tb27032023 Context: Today my bff reminded me that a while back she asked me to revive my blog and start writing again. So here I am, sitting in McD thumbing my comeback essay (eee…this word still brings the shivers) which could even be my last since I seriously don’t know where I’m heading with this. But one thing I can say though, the tagline of my blog still stands. Bandaged to be able to leave my heart. Not trying to be emo but it’s the truth. One type of bandage recommended by my bff is called “Manage Myself”. This includes not expecting to change others but managing my own expectation of how others can/should change. I haven’t read my previous posts since I last wrote (Dec 2016) but I vaguely remember one such emo post where I mentioned about less expectation = less pain. I can’t recall what caused me to write somet

Friendship Inc.

Quite a lot has been running through my head for the past few days, in particularly, the issue of friendship - what it meant to me in the past and what it means to me now. People around me have asked me, "Cynthia, do you have a best friend?" or simply, "Who are you close(r) to?" I don't know what the kind of answers they are expecting out of me and why they would want to know, but everytime such a question is asked, I can't immediately give an answer. It probably sounds kind of strange. I mean, if it's my close or best friend, wouldn't the answer be really straightforward and requires little thought to it? But yet I find that I'm unable to respond. All around me, I find that people are often seeking to be someone's special someone. It doesn't necessarily mean boyfriend-girlfriend kind of relationship. I mean isn't it nice to know that you have a special place in someone's heart, especially if that someone is one whom you find that
