II Corinthians 4:6-11

God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body.

Hi Phoebe,
I have always loved this passage. Thanks for posting it. After reading your post before this one, I must say that the whole thing is quite confusing. We all can thank the Lord for His strength in weakness. I just sent up a prayer that He will sustain you, dear sister, in your weakness.
