Worthiness

We mistake busyness for worthiness, perhaps. Let’s remember we are always worthy in God’s eyes. It’s the ego that labels us unworthy. ~ Karen Casey

Like the lepers of old
banned from society,
forbidden to touch,
required to proclaim
"Unclean, unclean"
on meeting anyone...
But self-condemned,
declared without consultation,
a suspicion growing inside
the lack of any proof
immaterial...
We deny our worthiness
and in so doing
deny the deity of He
who proclaims
our worth.
