Just rambling about my day - how the CPA industry has failed with the mass exodus of accountants from the industry and the lack of younger people wanting to be accounting majors. It's no surprise with those in charge of the industry old af, all the profits accumulate at the top, it takes years of mind numbing work to move up, offices, processes, procedures, workflows, and customer service is not modern. I digress.

Then I go into my Biblical Counseling Therapy session I had today. Specifically we spoke about why it is so hard to beat the enemy, why you can never fully ward off his attacks/they are a lifelong battle, how woman are biblically unique in their creation, how woman perfectly complement men, how communication differences can be resolved by focusing on "their perspective IS NOT WRONG, it is just different." 

I conclude with a reading and an analysis of 1 Corinthians 13 - "If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Via BibleGateWay.Com .

To putting "LOVE" to the top of our consciousness, to walk it out, to embodying it so deeply it resonates into every inch of our nervous system, so deep it becomes unconscious, bias, triggered reaction to the experience we call life. LOVE is the antidote. By uncovering what LOVE means and then working to embody it, our world would overflow with fruitful abundance, happiness, health, and well-being. Love you all my fellow humans.
