I Am Worthy

This is for anyone who was ever rejected by their family. It is a deep wound and it's challenging to overcome. But healing is a process and you are loved and cared for by God and His Angels. 

I have a family member who was born gay in the 1950s, when it was even more challenging than it is today. He was beaten by his father and really struggled with his identity and self-acceptance. He never managed to live his life freely and with self-love. It's a sad and moving story, and I wish I could've changed this experience for him; but that would require a time machine and a few miracles. 

Let's be free of judgement and prejudice. Let's love and accept each other for our magnificent light and humanhood. No one is truly better than another, no matter what we think or feel.

Remember: The Universe needs you. You're special and a blessing. 

I am worthy 
By Michelle Morris

You're my parents
You brought me into this world
I'm a part of your family
You're part of my soul

We're connected
Through time and space
Through our soul contracts
Our relationship and soul lessons

As I grew older
Developed into myself 
I realised that I
Was different from others

But I knew of your bias
Your fears and bigotry
And realised that my
Authentic self was hideous

To you, to our family 
And it made me insecure
About where I stood
In this big, big world

The lesson I had to learn
Was to love myself
For who I am 
No matter the doubt

For I am a blessing
I am worthy of love
I am worthy of dignity
Kindness and support 

A life of happiness
Joy and acceptance
I know the Universe
Needs my essence

Each of us is part
Of a greater pattern
Sparks and energy 
Quarks and atoms

God and His Angels
Guide and bless my path
For I'm part of the Universe
Part of its precious heart
