Lust literally means over-desire. It is when you take something that is good, twist it, and add cravings to it so you are consumed until you are gratified. When we speak of lust as it relates to relationships with the opposite sex, it can be defined this way – when a person’s body is far more important to you than his or her soul.

Love is the foundation our families and society are based on. Lust is just a physical emotion that we act upon when we get caught up in the moment. However, most of us fall in love with someone we find physically attractive. Because of this, hurt and confusion can easily be caused when you or your partner confuse love and lust with each other. Lust is an intense sexual desire or appetite that is based on self-gratification and has little to do with true feelings for the other person.

Love can hardly wait to give. Lust can hardly wait to get. Lust turns people into liars, deceivers, and manipulators. Their actions towards others are based on the craving to get. Just as a junkie will do about anything to get his fix, so someone steeped in lust will do about anything to be self-gratified.

Lust that causes sex and runs is even worse. As soon as lust no longer gets what it wants and is forced to face responsibility, it runs…leaving heartbreak on its part. Sex and run are ugly things full of selfishness and irresponsibility.

Lust attacks not only guys but females as well.  So always keep your eyes open for it so you can do all you can to protect yourself from this destructive monster. The Lust Trap is a web of lies. Lies that we believe. Lies that make promises that never deliver. This three-part series tackles three of these lies head-on and provides each truth needed to break free from the trap.

We spend most of our time wanting things we don’t have. We’ll even take this to God, demanding that He isn’t living up to His end of the bargain by providing us with what we want. All this does is suck the life out of our reality. There’s no way you can live in gratitude and appreciation for what you have if you are always wishing you had more.

Love and lust are two very strong words with very strong meanings. In this class, we discussed whether the two are related. Love and lust are two words that go hand and hand in relationships. They are emotions that are interlocked with one another. Without one it is hard to have the other and it also seems that in order to be in and stay in love, one must desire or lust after their partner. Without that desire, love and the wanting to be with one’s partner can fade away. In relationships both must be present, but it is important to understand these emotions and keep them in balance. It is also important to understand their similarities and their differences. Although they can both be defined using the word longing, love involves much more, including commitment. Lust is an emotion that can simply come and go in the blink of an eye, and it is important, as with any emotion to control lust.

If you’re looking for a relationship, don’t have sex unless you’re in a relationship. You are the most susceptible to the sex trap in your current state. If you’re not looking for a relationship, proceed with caution.  If the sex is mind blowing enough, you’ll find yourself believing you’re in love.  Trust me, I’ve seen it.  Even with the biggest commitment phoebes out there.
