John 16:21-22

21 "¹Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

22 "Therefore ²you too have grief now; but ³I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
