John 10:18

No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.

Focus on Him

Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light.
