What did I do?

I was asking it to me when, surfing the net, I found this

What did I do to deserve this?
I've asked myself this many times.
Whether in good times or bad,
I wonder was this all earned.
As a child, I stood in a corner;
no talking or playing allowed.
I did something I was told not to;
for every action there is a consequence.
True friends are few, but not rare.
They are there where I can find them,
they stand by my side at all times.
I care about them,
so they care about me.
Standing on the side of the road,
I stare in disbelief at a flat tire.
If I would have paid attention,
I wouldn't have run over that board.
Hiking through the mountains
I take in the beauty all around.
Work was hard and frustrating,
but now I enjoy some rest.
He makes fun of my clothes,
while she criticizes my ethics.
I've done nothing to offend them
except be my own person.
What did I do to deserve this?
The bad comes from misjudgment
or, maybe, being different.
In some way I deserved the action.
Some things I deserved because I earned them;
sometimes by hard work and struggle
and at other times because of love.
But why do I deserve God's grace?
How do I merit His love?
It can't be anything I've done.
I don't deserve something so great.
Yet God has given me both,
and in such wonderful abundance.
I accept these things with only one question,
what did I do to deserve this?
It's not a reward,
it wasn't anything I've done.
God grants me these things
because it is His will.
