Every person is created in the image of God with immense inherent dignity; lust, however, reduces another human being to a mere object for personal gratification. When you harbor and dwell on these desires, you separate sexual expression from its divinely intended dual purpose of deep union and openness to life within marriage. This turns your heart inward, fracturing your relationship with God's grace and clouding your ability to see others clearly, ultimately trapping you in a cycle of self-absorption that keeps you from the true, freeing love you were created for.
