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 I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
