What is the difference between infatuation and love? One uses, while love seeks the highest good of the other.

This is the contrast:

Infatuation grabs.
Love gives.

Infatuation asks, “What can I get from you?”
Love wonders, “What brings you wholeness, even if it costs me something?”

“Love… does not seek its own.”
1 Corinthians 13:5

Lust always seeks its own.
It uses people as mirrors to admire itself.

But love — the kind shaped by Jesus — thinks in a different direction.
It chooses the other person’s wellbeing, even when nobody sees.
It protects, not pressures.
It honors, not consumes.

Real love looks a lot like Christ Himself:

“Walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us.”
Ephesians 5:2

Infatuation wants to take.
Love is willing to lay something down.

One feels urgent. The other feels steady.

One burns fast. The other builds slowly.

One tries to fill emptiness.
The other creates room for someone else to flourish.

Different sources.
Different fruits.
Different futures.

When love thinks of the other, it becomes a place where two hearts can actually grow.
