Given Much

Because I have been

given much.

I too must give.

Loaf of bread and

glowing fire.

Simple daily needs.

But also patience,

compassion, and

withheld judgment,

for those who see

differently than me.

Can I give a

soft answer and

benefit of the doubt,

to those who lack kindness?

Can I love

those who are

hard to love?

For some days,

I lack kindness and

I am hard to love,

Yet my Lord

loves me still.

Because I’ve been

given much,

I too must give.
