What is This?. James Henry Bryant
I thought we were supposed to forgive and forget, and move on past those graves and tombstones, but that not the way gravediggers work, they have a job to do, we might say its nagging, or harping on the same issue or taking out old garbage, the Constance reoccurrence of these suppose forgotten issues, mistakes, acts of negligence, the missing of some important date or engagement, forgetting to pick up so and so, or the grocery, drop off so and so, do so and so, go to so-and-so. If it isn’t one thing its another being brought up by the gravediggers in our lives, I thought the word said if it was dead or a dead issue, like we claim it is, as Psalms 6:5 reads “for in death,”
‘That mean put away, it’s done with, over, caput, we are finished with it, it’s dead, a dead issue: “there is no remembrance”,
But this don’t seem to be the case for gravedigger, they excellent if not selective memory in excavation, and expect us to be grateful for their total and absolute recall. “in the grave who will give you thanks”.? The dead who no longer exist to praise? The way these grave diggers throw these accusations back at us is as the graves were opened and many bodies arose [Matthew 27:52] “and the graves were opened”. And came out of the graves”. [vs.53 in port]
By the gravedigger seal it seems as a great verbal earth quake occurs, and rocks are split open into stone of pebbles, “the earth did quake and the rocks rent:” [vs.51]
The gravedigger once in action are so forceful in their destructive zeal to berate, castrate, belittle, instigate, revive the dead and bring back those things that are supposed to be left buried by their own word, it is dead and: “the dead know not anything, neither have they anymore reward; the memory of them is forgotten. [Eccl. 9:5] for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave”.
So why can’t the gravediggers let sleeping dog lie, nothing exists if we say its forgotten, then why do we keep digging it up, every difference of opinion every argument, every chance to vex or hurt, belittle, connive, chartist, banner, beat, twist and arm, get our way, total selfishness, you’re out of control. Gravedigger.
I know we don’t have any Christians like that. Do we? Yeah, right, all have sinned. [Romans 3:23] we need to take the victory back from the gravedigger and return it to the grave under these circumstances “o grave, where is your victory?” [I Cor.15:55]
You can have the victory over being a gravedigger, if this is you or you know someone who you consider to be a gravedigger and you’re tired of slinging filth around, tired of hurting others, tired of being the whip that lashes out on people, now is your time for change. Now is the time of your deliverance, at this very moment God can take the stinger away from you that you are using on others and change you into a true love magnet, for to be a gravedigger is to be outside the love of God. Who said: “Judge not” “condemn not” love your neighbor as yourself would you want your neighbor doing what you do others, now is the time to jump out of the employment of grave digging, come out of the cemetery, come out from among the tombstones, come to Jesus who truly loves you, right now he want to give you true change. Will you pray with me: Father, I no longer want to be a digger of graves, I want complete change of how I handle my fellow people, I want to be used by you in a way that honors you and not me, Lord, I thank you for this, make me in your love, life as your servant, forgive me for anyone my gravediggering has hurt in anyway shape form or fashion, I give myself total to you and your care from this day forth, in Jesus name, I Pray. Amen.
