We often think of things when it comes to valuables.  But what about ideas or beliefs that we find valuable.  How willing are we to let go of those?  How closely do we cling to those when asked to let them go?  In ways that are often unseen we hold on to valuable beliefs without anyone knowing.  You can see a home that has lots of stuff it considers valuable, but you cannot look in another person’s head to see what they are keeping.  We can look inside ourselves. We know an idea is of value to us if it is still useful.  When we need it, we can easily access it.  Yet there are also valuables in our minds that we do not even know are there.  They are ways of thinking and being that have been passed down. The only reason they still take up space in our minds is because we do not question them.  The only reason we would have to question them is if and when they stop working.  The questions come when carrying them around as the valuable ways of thinking they are lose their value.  On my daily dates with God I have opened myself up to asking God’s help in determining which beliefs and ways of thinking and being are still valuable to me. Which ones bring me closer to the truth of who I am? Which ones serve to bring greater love to me and others?  God, how do I let go when there is a part of me that still finds a particular belief valuable?
