Providence

Part of my faith is Providence
Which means God meant it to be
Somewhere in the past
God had a plan for me
Slavery brought us freedom
From far across the sea
Persecution gave us liberty
To believe in the God we see
Prejudice gives us eyes
To see the mark of the beast
Breaking both commands
Where only two there be
Providence gives us faith
From which we finally see
God meant it from the beginning.
To show His love for you and me

I know that God has plans for those who will become His children through belief in His Son Jesus. Satan from their conception tries to take those plans away from those destined to become strong in the Lord. Sad but true it is a constant war going on within us, around us and against us. Thanks for sharing this spiritually based work. Sara
