I understand what you are saying and I believe it. The issue that I have is my sinfulness. Controlling my thoughts is a struggle that I have yet to master. Thankfully, God accepts my apologies.
"...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things...

@Autumnlover He sure does, sweet lady. Honey, this battle of the mind is something we shall struggle with until we see Jesus. We all do. Anyone who says differently, is sadly mistaken, because Satan loves to attack our thoughts on a daily basis, so that we can become depressed and discouraged, as he does not want us to keep our mind on Christ and wants to make us miserable, so that our walk and service in Christ, shall be less effective. He wants us so miserable, that he puts us out of commission to do anything for Christ. However, the good news is, that we can resist the devil and he has no choice but to flee, when asked to leave, by the authority of Jesus. When I catch myself thinking things that I shouldn’t, I right away, choose to think of something else, that is wholesome and healthy. The mind is the battleground that Satan chooses to discourage and defeat us with. But when we stay on guard, which takes training, but is not hard, we can resist the devil effectively. It helps to quote scripture and read the Bible. I always think of the verse that says, “greater is he that is in me, then he that is in the world.“ This is so true. It means we can have victory over the devil in our life, in our mind, and in our walk for Christ. I absolutely adore and love that Bible verse you quoted. Yes, if we follow those instructions in the Bible, such is that verse, there’s no doubt we’ll have victory in Jesus. Thank you SO much for sharing this morning. Lovely!

Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse. (1 Peter 2:18)
Lovely... condoning slavery

Ah. A great lesson in loving our enemies, as well as those who treat us well. Anyone can love someone who is good to them, but it shows what a person is really made of, when they can love their enemies and show love like Jesus did to us, who put him on the cross and did not even deserve it. @SoggedNapped
