Came across this poem by David Grieve and thought it could be useful:

God

God is patient all of the time,

but is no doormat that doesn’t see the dirt done in his name.

All of the time God is kind.

God is kind all of the time,

but not the kind that pretends not to notice the abuse of love.

All of the time God is truthful.

God is truthful all of the time,

but does not trumpet the wrongs of others, preferring to endure.

All of the time God is there.

God is there all of the time,

but not in a way that cramps our freedom to do without him.

All of the time God is good.

God is good all of the time,

but not merely because we experience his great goodness.

All of the time God is.

God is, all of the time.

God just is.
