You are loved

Know this by heart- 
God is not mad at you.
He's madly in love with you. 
He always has and always will. 

For God so loved the world that He 
gave His one and only Son, that 
whoever believes in Him shall not 
perish but have eternal life. For 
God did not send His Son 
into the world to condemn the 
world, but to save the world through Him.
John 3:16-17 

Greater love has no one than this: 
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 
John 15:13 NIV

What, then, shall we say in response 
to these things? If God is for us, who 
can be against us? He who did not spare 
His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—
how will He not also, along with Him, graciously 
give us all things? Who will bring any charge against 
those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. 
Christ Jesus who died—more than that, 
who was raised to life—is at the right hand 
of God and is also interceding for us. 
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution 
or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 
As it is written: “For your sake we face death 
all day long; we are considered as sheep 
to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are 
more than conquerors through him who loved us. 
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, 
neither angels nor demons, neither the present 
nor the future, nor any powers, neither height 
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, 
will be able to separate us from the love of God 
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:31-39 NIV
