Hmmm. I don't really lust - that's what I was thinking. Really I don't look at other men, I don't want for what the neighbors have, I don't have this burning desire to be a millionaire. This isn't a problem for me. Well, then I read the Love Dare. Lust is a misguided thirst for satisfaction that only God can fulfill (according to Kendrick's Love Dare). Now let's think about lust. Here's where it is, I lust for people's approval. It could be my husbands when I cook a great meal. It could be my parents when I've lost 5 pounds. It could be my own approval for taking a moment to be still. I lust for approval of others when in reality the only approval I need is God's. Lust is something we have to work on constantly. It isn't easy and it doesn't go away overnight. You have to work on it - thinking about that which is pure and holy to keep your mind and thoughts captivated by our Father.
Reality check - are you lusting after/for something? I could be anything. Think about it and turn it over to God.
Blessings to you all!
