I would love to give him this scripture
"I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mind.
When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.
When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you're between a rock and a hard place,
it won't be a dead end -
Because I am God, your personal God,
The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
I paid a huge price for you....!
that's how much you mean to me!
That's how much I love you!"
(Taken from Isaiah 43:1-4
