do you need "completion?"
Here is a Heavenletter from today that I thought was noteworthy. In this world, it seems that we feed our insecurities with other people or things, to "complete" us. The only one who can "complete" you--is YOU! To expect otherwise is like beating your head against a concrete wall. The need becomes an addiction almost. I know...I have been in this place once upon a time. I am so glad that I have seen the light.

Heavenletter #4674 You Are the One, September 11, 2013
God said:
If
you are someone who feels rejected a lot, you are responsible for your
sense of rejection. It is not for you to put the responsibility on
another. You project and expect too much. You project all your dreams
onto someone else and expect that someone else has to fulfill your
happiness. No one can take on the responsibility of making you happy. No
one else is responsible for your happiness or unhappiness. Only you.
Your need for someone may be more
attachment than love. If you think someone has to love you – to
whatever degree – you are barking up the wrong tree. This applies to
great loves in your life as well as to a casual sales clerk who may be
indifferent to your needs. This can apply to certain foods or anything
at all that you feel you must have in order to be happy. You are the one
who completes yourself.
What is happiness, My children?
It is feeling good about yourself. All the accolades in the world cannot
do this for you. Only you can do it for you. And I. And I, if you will
let Me in.
Of course, someone or something
outside you can appease you for a while. Your need for love from the
outside, no matter how reasonable it may seem to you, is an addiction.
You have a craving, and you look for someone or something to appease
your craving be it raging or constant. This is the too much you ask for,
require, demand, insist that you are given. You wear yourself and other
human beings out with what you believe you must have and must have now
and from the specific person or situation you crave so deeply.
Being turned down for a job you
so wanted is like a betrayal to you, as if you had to have that job to
feel worthy. Without it, you feel unworthy.
We come back again and again to
the sensibility that no one owes you anything. Even a piece of candy you
eat doesn’t have to be as wonderful as you had thought and hoped.
Nothing outside you can sustain your insatiable need for – whatever it
may be or whoever it may be that you elected to this high office called
need.
Beloveds, no matter how much
proof of love you receive, it will never be enough no matter how much
someone or something provides it for you. No person, situation, project,
product can fill you endlessly, for you are insatiable.
Do you perceive your responsibility now?
Perhaps you already have. But
what then? How do you become self-sufficient? Goodness knows, you have
tried. You have tried so hard.
Knowing the answers isn’t enough.
How do you get to the point of inner fulfillment without anyone or
anything having to supply you? Certainly you would love to love yourself
enough. Certainly you would love your love for Me to fill whatever
emptiness you feel. And, yet, where can your fulfillment come from
except from you? I am giving it to you. I pour it on you, yet, it is as
if you wear a raincoat and can’t get wet.
You can never prove that you are
loved enough. If you are looking for proof from Me, no proof will be
enough. If you are looking for proof that you are worthy to be loved by
Me and by yourself, you are in the wrong arena. Proof cannot be proved,
My darlings. No amount of proof can do it for you. All the evidence in
the world is not enough.
You know this. You really know
this. All the wealth in the world cannot satisfy your hunger. All the
beautiful clothes. All your attendance at church cannot do it. All your
blessings cannot do it.
I give you approval. I more than
approve of you. I love you as Myself which, of course, you are. You have
been deluded into thinking that you yourself are not enough when, not
only are you enough, you are far more.
What can We do to have you feel solid about yourself and about My love for you?
When you love yourself and others
and situations, that which you desire will rush to you because you will
have freed the world from having to love you. Only you can fill your
need for acceptance. Call it surrender, beloveds, surrender to love for
yourself. Now you have to be your own mother and father, brother and
sister. No one else can carry you any longer.
It is not a burden you are to
carry. It is love. It is love for yourself, and, therefore, for others.
Out with need and in with love.
It's like that movie "Jerry McGuire." "You complete me." Not really.....I have a neighbor who is so needy...she needs approval from everyone and if she doesn't get it, she feels as though her world has stopped. Her neediness is dragging me down. I try to be nice, but to be more is almost enabling her to be even more needy! What can I do to make her see that she is chasing everyone away?
