You are your own child. Nurture yourself. Raise yourself generously. Whatever kindness you have been denied in life, give it to yourself now. Whatever good you can give to yourself, give it. And what goodness is there that you cannot give and give to yourself?
Now you raise yourself. Now you no longer put yourself down. As a favor to Me, I ask you to think well of yourself, to encourage and uplift yourself. This is how you raise all the hearts in the world.
Be a benefactor to yourself. Bless yourself. Bless yourself by word and by deed. This is not selfish. This is unselfish. It is unselfish to get out of past habits of thinking. Letting go is unselfish. It is holding on that is selfish. Let go of the reins that you have used to hold yourself back.
You would think that ego encourages you, yet it is ego that would keep you down. Ego is a rogue warrior, a sniper, a knife in the back. It is your unworthy ego that tells you that you are unworthy. It is your ego that whispers to you in the night that you are not really worth much. And it is ego that torments you with the unbelief others may have held you in.
I am talking about your ego. The ego that torments you is your own. It is your ego. You developed it. You gave it a soapbox to stand on, and you stood in front of your debilitating ego and listened to its wanton talk. Beloveds, ego doesn’t know what it is talking about. Listen to that heckler no longer.
True, sometimes ego builds you up. When it does, it is only the better to knock you down. Ego is the big bad wolf who has teeth the better to eat you with.
Substitute your own good-heartedness for your wolfish ego that pulls the wool over your eyes. Your ego blocks you from seeing the good that you are and the good that you do.
Your presence in the world is not an accident. You are not here to cause trouble to anyone. You are not here to cause trouble to yourself. You are not here to pull yourself down. You are here to pull yourself up. Consider that there is a window shade that covers you. You have to pull up that window shade. You have to pull it up in order to reveal yourself to yourself.
I am telling you to think well of yourself. I am telling you to pull yourself up. I am not telling you to become high and mighty. I am telling you to be who you are, and who you are is a magnificent being. Will you believe Me this time and never forget it?
I singled you out. I made you. I set you in motion. I selected you to fulfill My dreams. You are My worthy son or daughter. You are Mine, and that means I give you to yourself. I did not hand you out to a stranger. I gave you to you. Will you please, once and for all, honor Me and My choice of you?
Will you handle yourself with care? Surely you are worth as much as a UPS package?
Beloveds, I do not mark you Fragile. You are not fragile. You are strong. You are unbreakable. You are My child forever. You are an acorn that falls not far from the Tree.
You were on loan to your parents, yet you were always Mine. And now I bequeath you to yourself. I ask you to love and take good care of yourself, for I sent you to Earth as My beloved.
