The Despair Of Loneliness And The Anguish Of Regretfulness

It is sorrowful to see so many people in our world entangled in the world's type of love---a love created by Satan and motivated by lust. It is ugly, selfish, degrading, perverted, enslaving, and momentary.

"For all that is in the world,

the lust of the flesh

and the lust of the eyes

and the boastful pride of life,

is not from the Father,

but is from the world."

1 John 2:16 (NASB)

These imprisoned people sadly loose out on never experiencing true love---a love created by God and motivated by His Holy Spirit. His love is beautiful, unselfish, fulfilling, edifying, joyous, and precious.

"Love is patient,

love is kind

and is not jealous;

love does not brag

and is not provoked,

does not take into account a wrong suffered,

does not rejoice in unrighteousness,

but rejoices with the truth;

bears all things,

believes all things,

hopes all things,

endures all things."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NASB)

The devil's love that has permeated in our ungodly world has grievously also captured many people in our churches today. As a result, these people live in bondage, unable to live in freedom to serve God. Some have at one time even been blessed by God with the love of another, but discarded it for lust, only to live later in the despair of loneliness and the anguish of regretfulness.
