"I've Been Told"

"I've Been Told"

I've been told
That I am too kind, too forgiving, too gracious, too merciful.
I give too many second chances.
As if I should change
As if I should harden my heart.
As if I should harden myself in a hard world that bites back and attacks every time a perceived wrong is done.
As if myself
ME
is the most important person in the world and I am only here to make sure that I am safe.

But I beg to differ.

I am here to remind the unloveable that they are loveable.
I am here to offer forgiveness to those who have never felt grace.
I am here to give mercy to those who wrong me because
I to,
need mercy.
I am here to be kind because God knows the times I have needed kindness and someone has been kind to me.
I have received undeserved second and third and a thousand chances. 

I will not change
The best things about me.
Because a hard world that bites back
Tells me I should.
