My child, take heart. You have My treasure in your earthly body, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of Me and not from yourself. You are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying around in your body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in your body. I will shine through those who are wholly devoted to Me.

2 Corinthians 4: 7-10
