God's Love

By Charles S Mortson

When God created you
He knew what he would see
Someone that wasn’t perfect
Or in heaven you would be.
He put you here on earth
To lead this life you live
Learning as you go
Giving what you can give.
He knew that you would stumble
And sometimes even fall
He knew that you would suffer
And in Jesus Christ you’d call.
Mistakes and bad decisions
He knew that you would make
To live and learn from them
Sometimes more than you can take.
He’s had a plan for you
From the very first day
Frustrating times will be
But soon you’ll see his way.
Love, hope, and faith
He’ll give this all to you
Patience please my friend
How only if you knew.
The love you have inside you
All the good that you do
This does not go unnoticed
And he shall see it too.
He’ll carry you if he needs to
And hold you when you pray
He knows the pain you carry
Each and every day.
What’s brought you to your knees
Some gave up on you
God will only keep around
The ones that see it through.
One day you will see
What I’ve been telling you
The love that he’s been saving
He created it just for you.
