~When we can't THINK of ANSWERS, we can TRUST THE ANSWER!

A - Acceptance of God’s Unchanging, Unconditional Love

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life...shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

God’s Love Does Not Change and is Available for ALL!!

V - Voyage to Eternity

"And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life." (1 John 2:25)

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

Christ Came to Give Us ETERNAL LIFE (not eternal death)!!

E - Empathy for the Brokenhearted

"The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." (Psalm 34:18)

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven...and the dead in Christ shall rise first." (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
