Thank you–this does make sense. I am not sure what happened that I suddenly thought I was being sinful in my thoughts, after having not thought so in previous times. I think it could be the devil trying to make something holy, as you say, into something “dirty”. And perhaps God can bring good out of this by helping me to make sure that my thoughts continue to be holy and that I always put the good of my husband first.
Many of our sins and the devil’s temptations are perversions of things that are good and holy. Gluttony is a perversion of enjoyment of food, lust is a perversion of love/eros, pride is a perversion of self-confidence, wrath is a perversion of righteous anger, etc, etc.
