I Was

I was -a trouble making teen Now-I've learned to trust my Heavenly Father 

I was-an evolutionist Now- I trust in my Creator 

I was-a thief Now-I learned the joy of giving to those in need 

I was-a cheat Now-I learned to study, take notes,be responsible  

I was- rebelious Now- I learned to pray for leaders and petition for change 

I was-hateful Now-I learned to love and forgive  

I was-a schemer Now-I learned that schemes fail It's better to work for goals 

I was-lustful Now- I learned I can love only one woman, all the others have goals and wills of their own 

I was-coveteous Now- I learned I have all I need---the more you own the more that owns you
