Embrace the Within no. 6

“You support what you love.”

Embrace the Within.

I have for years been explaining that what you spend your time and money doing are the manifestations of what you love. You can’t love something that you don’t invest your time into experiencing. So, where I spend my time and money says a lot about what I value in life.

Fourteen days ago, I decided that I loved freedom enough to act free as much as possible. For me that started with gardening and moving on shortening my supply chain. It then transformed into getting my body healthy by eating foods that were not processed and filled with syrups and oils and beginning the day with some exercise. And then it transformed again with the addition of getting my mind healthy by reading and studying and writing every day. And then it finally transformed again by focusing on my spiritual health which led to a reading of the Word from cover to cover and a covenant to attend a few different houses of God. Now, every day begins and ends with my focus on my body, my mind, and my spirit because that is what I support and love.

In a strange way, my focus on loving freedom eventually freed all aspects of my life. I don’t worry about politics and the news. I am more concerned with my chickens, rabbits, and plants. I don’t worry about prices and inflation. I am looking for ways to remove myself from the systems around me. I don’t worry about looking foolish or weird. I have always done things my own way and with my own approval as the ultimate stamp. And as I grow into the person that I want to be, I can only do that through supporting the things I love.

It is through our love that we show what we truly value in this life. It is through love that we act in showing our support for those things that are important. We are given this reminder about love in the first book of John, “Beloved, let us [unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves [others] is born of God and knows God [through personal experience]. The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.]”(1 John 4:7-8 AMP).

What is your life showing that you support? What are your actions showing that you love?

Peace to your home. Bless your being. The reign of God is now. Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
