    Infatuation usually is a cover up for pain. You're in some sort of emotional pain and are hoping to escape yourself by getting into a relationship with another person.

    Infatuation is seeing what you want to see. Love is seeing the person for who they are.

    Good stuff. People "say" they are christian all the time. Don't tell me show me. How many people don't read their bibles? How many people read the bible but don't live it? Definitely need to make sure they are walking with God.

    Infatuation is the breeding ground for a soul tie. This is lust in another form.

    I've been hurt by a man who was infatuated with me. Ladies, always guard your heart! Never rush in and believe a man's words!

    I can tell if I’m infatuated if I think I’ll be devastated if the guy chooses someone else. If I can honestly pray for his well being and God’s will for the both of us, I know I just love him and want the best for him, even if that means another woman.

    I wish I would have seen this video last year when I was having an infatuation love and thought this is the real love I was expecting. Although the signs were there since the beginning I didn't want to listen the voice of God because He warned me but I thought I will manage somehow and we will work out in the end. I had to broke up with my ex-girlfriend and end up any connection with her because all these signs here you presented I have felt on my own. I had to pass through a spiritual battle and suffered depression,psychosis,anxiety because of this trial and toxic relationship but finally after 6 months God lifted me up and I am way better than before,have my eyes opened and focus on the relationship with Him. I can see clearly now and I feel that He is calling me and He has provided me with a better plan for me in future and a godly wife. Thanks for sharing these with us here and I am sure you help lots of young people to choose the right path in life and having a blessed marriage. God bless you!

    infatuation is similar to idolatry, intense or short lived admiration but love is sacrificial for benefitting others (John

    It's a boundary issue. Set your mind on things above. Create boundaries around your heart and focus on Christ. When our eyes are fixed .. we are less likely to be distracted by the shiny things meant to trip is up.

    Emotionally charged train wrecks. Infatuation or 'puppy love' is another word for making another human being a temporary god, a deliverer. 'Please!' it screams, 'Please deliver me from my loneliness, you're exactly what my soul wants, you are the person that can satisfy the longing in my soul'. But really what they want is a cover-up for the lust of their flesh and the lie that they must replace the LORD God with a god of sinful flesh. They want someone to satiate their unchecked passions and to stroke their egos. It is the greatest needful disappointment to realize that a mere person makes for a horrible deity. Like clinging to an idol that disintegrates to dust when you reach out to caress it. That's what it's like to cling to a person to satisfy every longing. What is man anyways? One day that handsome hunk will turn to dust. One day that hot babe will be in the ground. Physical appearance and ability is fleeting. We have nothing to boast of and can't even draw one breath apart from the grace and allowance of God. We can't move our feet or tongues apart from His sovereignty. Infatuation is nothing more than temporary worship of created being. When we look to a person to satisfy, we anger the LORD God intensely with our idolatry. It is just as bad as bowing down to a stone god or golden calf. The devotion will only last so long. Hot passions cool off, then what's left? What does it to the worshipper? And what does it do to the worshipee? (Is that even a word??) For any person to accept the worship of another is absolutely pride and narcisissm. Oooh but it feels so good to be wanted and adored, doesn't it? It feels so good to feel you are completing another person? It just sounds so right doesn't it? Wrong! Only GOD is meant to fill that role. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me". That means GOD is first AND it means we are to present no other gods in His sight (before Him, in His presence). Scary to claim His Name and then forget all about him and go worship your 'crush' or 'lover' night and day in your thoughts, your dreams, your fantasies and escapades. Sensual and emotional Infatuation is a perversion that has been normalized and called 'falling in love'. No, infatuation is a sin that ranks right up there with bowing down in worship to golden calves. Accepting another's infatuation is the sin of pride and rebellion because it denies GOD is the ultimate authority and only HE deserves that honor.

    I was in love with someone and it was not infatuation.... But, I guess God had other plans ...which is good! Always obedient to God’s will ✝️🙏❤️

    Thank you so much for your videos , they are helping me tremendously. I got involved with a very toxic man and I am realizing it wasn’t real love at all but a false infatuation. He turned out to be a chronic narcissist and I am in the fight for my life to break free.
