Real stuff cost more.
This is real love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us… 1 John 4:10 NLT
My confidence is in Gods capacity, His character and most of all His compassion.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the
Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43:2-3 ESV

This is real love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:7 ESV
God’s love can bear the weight of your life and history, and your present pain and strain.
The love of Christ revealed on the Cross is Certain.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither
angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow, not even the powers of hell
can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below. indeed, nothing in all
creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39 NLT
The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son
and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). Isaiah 7:14 NLT
