For if you love only them that love you, what’s up with that? [Matthew 5:45–46 emphasis added] “You will love your neighbor as yourself” [Lev.19:18 and matt 19:19 and matt 22:39] But most of all, “You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind;” [Luke 10:27]
Love is the meat that dictates the rest of the meal, Love makes the sunshine on your most cloudy clay, Love wipes away the tears of heartache and heartbreak Love put the smile on your face when that special someone appears or is thought of, Love is that string that tears the heart into when a lover cheats or someone dies, Love is to Know, when to release and step away, love is to be patient, comprehending, Knowing, forgiving, even when not forgiven, Love is to accept thanks from the ungrateful, or those who do not say it for the things you do, listen to another passage of Love in Matthew 25:34–40
“Then will the King of Kings say unto those who demonstrate love that are gathered on His right hand, come you that are blessed or sanctioned of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from The Foundation of the World, or since the beginning of time. For I was hungry, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger or Homeless and you took me in, Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited and took care of me: I was in prison, and you came unto me, then will those that love asks, Lord, when saw we you hungry and fed you, or thirsty, and gave you drink? When saw we you a stranger or homeless and took you in? Or Naked, and clothed you? Or when saw we you sick or in prison, and came unto you? And the King of Kings, Lord of Lords will answer all those who loved by his commandment and say, in as much as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethrew, you have done it unto me” For “This is my commandment that you love one another as I have love you” [John 15:12] “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue in my love” [vs.9] “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends, and you are my friends, if you do whatever I command you” [verses 13–14] “and Know that all things work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are called according to His purpose.” [Romans 8:28] “And nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus “[vrs.39] “As it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has entered the heart of man the things which God has prepared for them that love Him.” [I Cor.2:9] “For God so love the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVE IN HIM
Will not perish (or die) but have EVERLASTING Life.” [John 3:16]
God loves us so much, in spite of us that he sacrificed his only son (Jesus) to be a substitute for us, to die that we may live forever with him. The son’s sacrifice erased every one of our crimes that disallowed us to enter God’s Holy, sanctified presence, not because of our goodness,” “for all have sinned, and came short of the glory of God.” [Romans 3:23] “there will no flesh be justified in his sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin”[vs.20]” but God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” [Romans 5:8] “by whom also we have access by faith (or simple belief) into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” [vs.2].
In my opinion, this is what love got to do with it, especially for me, “because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. [vs.5] This is what love got to do with it, in my opinion, what about you?
Grave Digger
Years ago, one could seek employment as a grave digger, in the employment of and undertaker. This was some back breaking work, you’d have to take a pick, hole digger, shovel or mattock and dig a six by four-foot hole or larger depending upon the resident to be implanted therein, this meant moving stones, rocks roots or any other things that would hinder the progression and completion of a wall dig grave
Back then two by four boards were laid across the grave with ropes that the coffin or casket was set on until after the ceremony, when the board would be removed as strong men held the coffin up with ropes, which was used to let the coffin down in the grave, and then the grave digger would shovel the dirt which was removed back In that grave on top of that casket. It was a lot of back breaking work, in all type of weather and under all types of conditions because people were just dying to get in.
Today, is much different grave digging is hi-tech, with machines and escalators doing the work and only one or two men in employment, making thing much simpler and easy. Once buried we expect it to stay buried, right? Well in today’s lesson beginning with in part Genesis 50:5 “in my grave which I have digged for me… You will bury me.” “for in death there is no remembrance of you; In the grave who will give thanks” [Psalms 6:5]” for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither you go.” [Ecclesiastes 9:10]
A grave diggers job is to bury the customer, who has no memory of the inturnment, will no longer have to work for a living, or use any more devises, won’t have to use common sense (wisdom) worry about financial, business, education, love life, church, or whatever, it’s over and done with, right? Never more to be brought back in this life. Its covered up under six feet of dirt. Out of sight
But the grave digger, I will be talking about today are not employed in a cemetery or work for an undertaker, they are in many homes. You say, what? Yes! They are in many homes, many relationships waiting to dig things that are buried up. For an example, have you ever known someone in a relationship, who has made a mistake or a couple? Sure you have! Their other half claims to have forgiven the trespass, without going in detail, and everything seems rosey until something else comes along that they are dissatisfied with, here they go transforming into a grave digger, those prior two instance are dug up and brought back to life and thrown in your face accusatorially, those deeds have been exhumed and brought back to life, just like it was never buried. Or,
Maybe you’re young and trying to get a handle on this thing called life as a young person we tend to make a lot of mistakes, that as we progress in life we think we are thrown to the side with each punishment or lecture, but the very next time something happens, that Mom, Dad, Aunt, Uncle, Caretaker, Teacher, eccettra starts from the cradle uncovering every little mistake we ever done, Gravedigger. We thought they had forgot about many of those things, God knows we did and have problems trying to recall many that they are so perfectly counting off on their fingers and toes each grave they dig up and uncover each and every mistake that they were supposed to have forgot about or buried in the past, but before you know it all those body are excavated and laying out for all to see, because of the gravedigger refuse to let them ly in peace. Gravedigger.
You ever had a friend or associate you use to confide in that you trusted with your very life and upmost secrets, but only to find out when things go aware they uncover all your business that you ever told or trust them with, they become very industrial gravediggers in your business making you wonder why did you ever trust this person with these that they are now digging up to use against you from the onset of that relationship. Gravedigger.
Mothers are some of the most unintentional gravedigger out there or in our lives, bless their hearts, they don’t mean it, but they can bring up some of the most embarrassing moments at the dinner table, in front of company or at socials, assumedly bragging or boosting, but in fact many of the things they choose to talk about us, makes us want to get in a grave and cover ourselves up, yet they can’t see no harm,
