God said:
Be good to yourself. You are to nourish yourself. That you take care of your own well-being doesn’t mean you are being selfish. It means you are being true to yourself. In this way you are also helping other people to be true to themselves. You are free, and they are free. All are free to be true to themselves.
The point is that you are not to be a beggar for love. You don't need hand-outs from others. You are not so dependent upon others.
No one owes you. You are the only person who has to love you. Love yourself. Then see what may happen.
You don't need the world thronging to you. Yes, you need love. You have My love. Others do not have to love you. When you are less dependent upon love from the outside, you will receive more love reaching you. You won't HAVE to have it.
By the same token, you will feel friendlier to others. Your own happiness depends upon you. Your own happiness isn't payment from others. Let others just be.
Be assured of your own love for yourself. Find every opportunity to welcome yourself. When it is in your heart to uplift and inspire someone else for his or her sake, do it.
I am your Best Friend. Know it.
Here's the thing. You and I are One. Our love is dependent upon -- nothing. A bird sings. The sun shines. And I love you the same natural way. It is easy for Me to love. I can do nothing but love.
