Desire is what we do very well as human beings - just look at the consumerism of our modern world, the popularity of media binging, the drive to accomplish and acquire more and more.

But love? That's entirely different. Love doesn't seek to control the object of its affection. It doesn't seek to use the recipient of love for itself. It is, rather, exactly what the Bible reveals to us in Christ: a love that does not take, but gives.
