God said: 

Closing your heart is how to become selfish. Keep yourself in, and someone else out. This may be the motto of those who, every time, proclaim themselves first. They may have taken selfishness as equivalent to survival. What can protecting your solitary heart be but a kinder light to put selfishness in?

Beloveds, when you protect your heart, you are protecting yourself from your own love.

Love yourself, yet not squander love on yourself. Take care of yourself. Live in the world, and make it a world of love. Never mind excuses. There are a million excuses. Every minute of the day you are choosing selfishness or love. Let’s admit it. Selfishness is not love. Selfishness comes from an outburst of need. When you no longer see yourself as needy, you won’t act in what is seen as a selfish way. We are talking about you now and not someone else.
