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.

Dear Ones, many of you shy away from truly stepping into love for yourselves because you fear you will fall into ego. Let us assure you, that will not happen.

Egoic self love creates self imposed separation, which, by it’s very nature will not allow love, healing, or connection. It perpetuates behaviours that do not honour the self, and keeps you stuck. It becomes a very lonely, uncomfortable place indeed, and a space that you would not be able to stay in for very long at all before your discomfort would urge you to choose another energy that better fits who you really are.

Conscious self love unifies by including yourself in your own loving care. It nurtures and encourages healing and growth, and unconditional love for all things, including yourself. It anchors the energy of unity consciousness, by not separating, but rather including yourself as an equally delightful part of the whole, deserving of your own delightful attention. By unconditionally loving all the parts of you, you unify and heal all the aspects of self that have been yearning for the missing piece of your own tender love, which allows you to move forward in authentic and empowered ways like never before.

How often to do you let one fear stand in your way of experiencing miracles? All of the joy, love, peace, abundance and exhilaration of your existence on your Earth plane await your forward motion. ~ Creator

God said:

You may well know by now not to bow to your ego. I know you do your best. You don't always know what is your ego, what is whim for some kind of exaltation, or what is desire for Truth. Go for what is in your heart and be not attached. Fine, desire with all your heart to sing. Go ahead.

Yet know that the joy is in the singing and not in what the world or your mother makes of it. You don't have to be aggrandized in the eyes of the world. Your singing does not have to be popular. Sing for the love of singing. If you reach the Hit Parade, enjoy being on the Hit Parade. Just don't let reaching the Hit Parade go to your head.

You know all this.

What you may not have thought about yet is not to fan the flames of other people's egos any more than your own. Yes, you want to uplift others. You want to inspire others with all your heart. You are not looking to earn brownie points, however. Get the difference?

There may be a fine line between flattering another for your own purposes and singing true praises. It may be We are speaking here of your motivation. The desire to give another confidence in himself is a far cry from your wanting to increase your value to another.

You do not extol another in order to enrich yourself. You don't butter up a teacher in order to increase your grade. Of course, be courteous. Be courteous for the right reasons.

Impatience, frustration and anxiety are at an all time high for many of you. We want you to understand that those emotions are normal during such times of energetic intensity. We would like to offer some tips to help you move through these periods with greater comfort and ease.

It is extremely common for human beings to assume things are wrong if they are not seeing tangible results for their efforts. We remind you that the flow consists of both the lull and action phases. When you are in a lull, a space where it seems like not much is going on, it is a time for rest, for integration, and to give yourself whatever you need to be comfortable and to move with the energies. It is a time to simplify, to spend time in good tender self care and doing activities you enjoy. It is a time where you are releasing or integrating energies to prepare for the action phase of your journey. If you think of it that way, you will understand that the very existence of the lull indicates you are in preparation for the action phase that is gathering elements and aligning to break through.
