Don’t be a grave robber. Let corpses alone. In due course nature disposes of such remains, if they are left undisturbed. Every time you dig up an old grievance or an old mistake by rehearsing it in your mind or, still worse, by telling someone else about it, you are simply ripping open a grave – and you know what you may expect to find.
Live the present. Prepare intelligently for the future – and let the past alone. This is what Jesus meant when he said,… “ let the dead bury the dead. (Matthew 8:22).
Make a law for yourself today that you are not going to touch mentally any negative thing that has happened up to the present moment – and keep that law. Life is too precious for grave robbing. The past is past – liquidate it. If a negative memory comes into your mind, cremate it with the right thought (the fire of Love) and forget it.
How much better our lives would be if we followed this advice. How much emotional baggage we could jettison if we let go of the moving van full of resentments and hurts that we pull around behind us wherever we go. How free we would be to enjoy the beauty and blessings around us if not viewed through the prism of past wrongs. As an Easter promise to ourselves and others, let us leave the dead and decaying past in the grave and live into the new and living present, forgiven and restored to our God-given place in the garden.
Looking forward,
Stan
