II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing Him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir,

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things unto her." John 20:15-18
HE Who "went through hell" for you and me, was/is our Spirit-Father (Heb. 12:9). And HE ordained and commanded and assigned a spirit-guardian to perpetually watch over you and me – even as a parent commands an older son or daughter to watch over a younger one in the parent's absence.
Beauty, goodness, mercy, and Truth is of God: All of THAT lives eternally.
Weep no more at the tomb of yesterdays....
Spring into the newness – even as did Mary Magdalene – of the startling awareness that CHRIST IS AT YOUR SIDE – in love – watching over you!
TO HIM commit everything – even yourself in entirety!
THEN is there no more weeping, no more sorrow nor death! For ALL the works of the Enemy He came to abolish!
HE did!!
