The New Self Lives With A Thankful Heart

 "Clothe yourselves, then, as is fitting for GOD's chosen people, holy and beloved of HIM.  Put on compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience to bear with one another, and forgive, whenever there is any occasion to do so.  As the LORD has forgiven you, forgive one another.  Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.  May the peace of CHRIST overflow in your hearts; for this end you were called, to be one body.  And be thankful.

Let the word of GOD dwell in you, in all its richness.  Teach and admonish one another with words of wisdom.  With thankful hearts, sing to GOD psalms, hymns and spontaneous praise.  And whatever you do or say, do it in the Name of JESUS, the LORD, giving thanks to GOD, the FATHER, through HIM. - Colossians 3:12-17 

(While old self is self-centered, enslaved by passions, the new self is characterized by a communal attitude, a constant concern for others.  He lives with a thankful heart.)
