When love takes charge of us (which is another way of saying, when God takes charge of us), we cannot think bad things about people. We don't even want to.
We are not really living the life of the Spirit until we allow the Holy Spirit to control every area of our life. He will certainly never get control of our life until He has control of our thoughts and words.
Being led by the Spirit is central to a victorious Christian life. As long as we think our own thoughts and speak our own words, we will never experience victory.
Our life is a reflection of our thoughts. It is impossible to have a good life unless we have trained ourselves to have good thoughts. If we want others to see Jesus reflected in our life, then His mind must be reflected in us. We must be led by the Spirit in our thinking; that is where all Spirit-led living begins.
Be determined to love God, yourself, and others with your thoughts. Let God's love take charge in your life.
~ Joyce Meyer, Being The Person God Made You To Be
...you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. ~ Romans 8:9

I've really gotta work on that one! What a beautiful way to start my day. My attitude will be better since reading it.
