We prove that if we consider a family of \textit{stable} solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau equation, then their vortices converge to a \textit{stable} critical point of the ``renormalized energy.'' Moreover, in the case of instability, the number of ``directions of descent'' is bounded below by the number of directions of descent for the renormalized energy. A consequence is a result of nonexistence of stable nonconstant solutions to Ginzburg-Landau with homogeneous Neumann boundary condition.
