He didnโt realize how long heโd been carrying that shovel. It wasnโt heavy all the time. Some days it barely felt like a burden. Other days, it felt welded to his hand. But the truth was, that shovel had become part of him. He used it to bury his shame. His past failures. His broken relationships. His guilt. And every time he thought he was done with it, heโd find himself back in the same place, digging up what he was supposed to let go of.
He told himself this was just the way it had to be. This was a manโs job to handle your business, fix it on your own, donโt show weakness. He stayed quiet. He dug in silence. He buried things deeper and deeper, hoping no one would ever see the mess underneath.
But what he didnโt realize is that God had already surrounded him with men who were ready to help. Men who had seen his pain. Men who had carried their own shovels. Men who didnโt want to judge him. Yhey wanted to stand with him. God, in His goodness, didnโt just give him grace. He gave him brotherhood. He gave him tools, not to bury more, but to build again.
God knew this manโs patterns. God knew where his thoughts would go when he was alone. God knew that isolation was the enemyโs playground. God made a way out. And one day, when this man hit the dirt again, worn out, empty, ready to quit, his brothers showed up. They didnโt lecture him. They didnโt shame him. They got down in the dirt with him.
One reached out and said, โYouโre not doing this alone anymore.โ
Another said, โWeโve been here. Now we fight together.โ
And a third one took the shovel out of his hands and said, โWe donโt dig graves, we build altars.โ
That was the day it changed. That was the day he stopped visiting what God had buried.
That was the day he stood up, walked away from the grave, and moved toward something new. Not alone, but shoulder to shoulder with brothers who had his back.
