The Greatest Possession

...Cling to the thought that, in God's hands, the dark past is the greatest possession you have-the key to life and happiness for others. With it you can avert death and misery for them.
...January 28, Daily Reflections

A stunning experience I was not prepared for, spiraled into a chaos I could not control, and ended in an obliteration of past, present, and future joy, is my greatest possession. I now am saying yes to what is not.

In some hours, the dark days of the past crush me. I can't bury or disown the past. Rewriting is beyond unhealthy. The only way to live in the present is to acknowledge the past. Humility is the reward for bearing the truth. That's enough.

Left living where we died, the dark past is our only possession which matters, and that's OK.

Life is the gift from God. What we do with our possession is our reciprocation.
