God loves me

You —

When I needed money,
He provided me with a job.

When I wanted to waste money,
He provided me with expenses.

When I was tempted,
He provided me with strength.

When those temptations became strong,
He allowed me to stay at home.

When I prayed for the strength to forgive,
He gave me a front seat view on the evils of revenge

Yet with all this I still did not act
or follow all that was commanded of me

God gave me a chance to gain forgiveness and mercy
and He still keeps giving me opportunity
For God loves me.

Thanks everyone - I had no idea how it would be received.

I was to add that the words are talking about real events and scenarios - not made up with phony events or anything, but real life stuff. (I often find the use of made up events in such things to feel dishonest to me.)

1. Where did you get the idea to write a poem?

2. How long did it take to write?

I liked it 😃

erm... I was going to write something but this popped up into my head. and like 2 mins I guess.

It wasn't meant to be a poem initially, but then I thought it had a rhyme, broke the lines up and it was there. just had to make a change or two.

In my defence, I was in a good mood.
