Knocked down but not destroyed

2 Corinthians 4:8 "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down but not destroyed."    1 Corinthians 2:4 “My message and my preaching were not with wise words, but with the demonstration of the Spirit’s power.”    It is not with our own strength, but with the power of God within us that helps us thrive in the darkness.   Sometimes things can feel overwhelming and hopeless.  There is always hope in Jesus!!!   We may get knocked down but we are not destroyed!!
