You may feel that it is difficult for you to love others, yet it seems that the hardest thing for you to do is to love yourself. You may think you favor yourself over others, yet you do not. Because you are not crazy about others doesn't at all mean you love yourself more.
You may give yourself the biggest slice of pie, yet that may be a sign of your loving yourself less and needing the biggest piece of pie as a substitute for the love you don't feel for yourself.
Self-serving is not a sign of self-love. It is a sign of lack of self-love.
When you love yourself well, you are able to give others more. You are naturally more generous. I am speaking of more love from your heart, not more proof of love you may need to bolster your sense of nobility.
It is good to be giving. It is good to be noble, and yet it is better to serve from your heart and not for any self-seeking. You can't help but feel good when you come from generosity, but when you give with the idea in mind of enriching yourself, then giving is more like taking. Perhaps if you keep a record of your givingness, you are not really giving. It can be you are trying to raise yourself in your own estimation as well.
Come from the premise that anyone I, God, love from My full heart is worthy of love. This means you, too, are worthy. I don't care what you may have done or not done, you are worth gold to Me. In fact, you are the gold of My heart that shines and calls Me to your side.
Be generous to Me, beloveds. Be generous with yourself.
You may see yourself as needing when the Truth is that you are needed.
You came to Earth to make My vision come true. My vision is simple. A world of love. A world of love can only be a world of peace. May you and all on Earth flourish.
May your hearts take off like birds flying to the sun. Yes, let your hearts fly to Me and melt in the sun of My love. Melted hearts are not frittered away. Melted hearts become molten gold. Any cracks or crevices in a heretofore dry heart are fixed, and hearts become seamless, whole and perfect in the goldenness of love itself.
Who would really want a dry heart, a hard heart, a wizened heart, when a heart can be love-filled, abundant, secure, simply being what a heart is for?
Your heart gets stirred so you will know that love is your natural state. A stirred heart has its love blended so it is reminded to love and to love all, as I love all. Hearts of love do not ask questions. Hearts of love are so full they are already satisfied. Hearts of love can accept that they are to give their love like orange blossoms that fall from a tree. Hearts of love know that their love is to be given away and that nothing is more wonderful than love given away the same way that the sun shines its light on all. The sun asks no questions about merit. The sun knows how to love, and I tell you that you also know how to love, and yet you can love more and more, and you can have more and more love to give. You cannot run out of love.
