When I spoke of "tossing the coin" in my last posting you may have thought this to be an undesirable act. "What do you mean toss my coin?" "Coins are money!" "Money is valuable, you just don't go about tossing away your money!"
Well, that is exactly how we think of the various deceptions from the unrighteous-unholy we have embraced in our way of life. We think that they are valuable and needed, that they should not be tossed away because they keep us safe or give us worth or define who we are and thus separate us from those "less evolved" creatures.
But what if the coins you are holding are fake? What if they have no real value? Wouldn't it make sense to toss them away in exchange for something of real value? So it is with the deceptions. What if their perceived value is fake? What if deception has no value? Wouldn't it make sense to toss it away to embrace Truth?
Father sure Knows it does. In my journey with Him, He has asked me repeatedly to toss away "my" fake coins, to let go of the deceptions that hindered my journey so that I could live in the Truth He shared with me. Some coins were easy to let go off, but others sure have been difficult - I was too attached / charmed by their reflective nature which made me believe they had more worth and power and thus were more desirable than the sublime Light of the Divine. Yet in the end, I'm most great-full for Trusting Father and having tossed those fake coins away. The Joy, Love, Peace, and Laughter that Truth has surfaced in my life has been well worth it.
