What is love? Love is a choice to commit to helping, respecting and caring for another. Love is willingly taking up a responsibility to love, cherish and sacrifice selflessly for the betterment of another person not minding if the person deserves it or not.  It is an everlasting commitment.                

               
Lust on the other hand, is a thought or a strong feeling you conceive to do something immoral.  It is a desire to benefit from the other person. It is usually propelled by what we see or perceive about the individual. This could be the beauty, intelligence, character, abilities, status quo, or money.


Below are some contrasting features between love and lust.


1. Lust is ignited with the flames of sexual passion. It burns off and dies as soon as it is gratified. When it speaks, it focuses on sensuality, carnality and worldly passion. However, love can't be burnt by fire instead it glows in it. Unlike lust, love language only edifies and improves life.


2. Lust is impatient and could lead to premarital or extramarital sex. I know of a married man who cheated on his wife with the reason that she just gave birth and couldn't have sex with him. Meanwhile he wasn't ready to wait for her recovery so he used his ex girlfriend to relieve his urge at that time. He was caught and the marriage was ruined. But love is patient and respects vows of commitment.


3. Lust can thrive for long but cannot sufficiently build a long lasting relationship. However, true love is the best foundation for any successful relationship once it’s exclusively mutual.

4. Lust deafens and blinds you to the possible consequences of your actions. It separates you from God and isolates you from good friends. Love makes your life better, it makes you get closer to God and help you build meaningful relationship amongst friends, families and associates.


5. Lust makes you confused and indecisive “I love him but he beats me”, “I love him, I don’t want to lose him but he’s harsh, rude, proud and so on”. That's confusion. It affects your sense of judgment and you will end up making mistakes.


6. You lose NOTHING in love even if the relationship doesn’t lead to marriage but in lust, you lose either something or many things. When lust is over you  feel USED by the other person.
