Day 85 - Lust?
Our carnal passions can be a huge block to genuine love. This does not primarily refer to passions of a sexual nature. For some it may be for attention, for others it may be for food. Whatever it is we lust after, it tends to lead us towards selfishness. We quickly decrease our ability to care for others the more we give attention to our lusts. Therefore, in order to fill our lives with love, we must keep our passions, or lusts, in check and under control.

What an awesome post. I have never really put lust (of any kind)with selfishness. It makes complete sense though, because you become consumed with the need to have whatever you lust after, and you are so set on getting that which you lust after, that anything else falls into your "blinders". Thank you for this post. I'm sure I'll be painfully aware of the things I "lust" after from now on.
