The church fathers consistently acknowledged
The church fathers consistently acknowledged the beauty and goodness of desire (e.g., Augustine, above), but they were not naive to the potential for desire to be bent by sin. They knew that our longing for an ever-growing relationship with God—one that leads to loving others, ourselves, and the world deeply—could easily be turned to desiring objects for their own sake. Instead of experiencing joy in relationship with God and others, we desire to become God and to possess others and the objects they love.
