Joyce Johnson Poet Free verse

His Offer

For God so loved the world
(Including you and me)
That He gave his only begotten Son
(He came to set us free)
That whomsoever believeth in Him
(His one and only request)
Shall not perish
(Unlike the rest)
But shall have everlasting life.
(Away from this world's strife).

Quoted from John 3-16 with my words in parenthesis.

For John's contest  Won a first
