Do not be afraid.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. –Matthew 28: 5-6

“Heaven about is softer blue,
Earth around is sweeter green,
Something lives in every hue,
Christless eyes have never seen.
Birds with gladder songs o’erflow,
Flowers with deeper beauty shine,
Since I know as now I know
I am His, and He is mine.”

–Jim Elliot

Si donc vous êtes ressuscités avec Christ, cherchez les choses d’en haut, où Christ est assis à la droite de Dieu. Attachez-vous aux choses d’en haut, et non à celles qui sont sur la terre. Car vous êtes morts, et votre vie est cachée avec Christ en Dieu. Quand Christ, votre vie, paraîtra, alors vous paraîtrez aussi avec lui dans la gloire. –Colossiens 3 :1-4

I am no longer my own, but Yours.
Put me to what you will, rank me with whom you will.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by You or laid aside for You, exalted for You or brought low by You.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
You are mine and I am Yours. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth, Let it be ratified in heaven. -Amen
