No and neither do I.
Nor does any other being on this planet. For who will you trust to fully, solely, be concerned about your needs alone? How can you convince yourself that this one person you trust so fully, that he/she would absolutely forget about their own existence and devote themselves to yours? How can you be that foolishly lame?
I'm not trying to be the creepy little voice at the back of your head that whispers the doubts about trusting any one human to fully care about you with an thunderous echo of "not even your parents!". No, all I mean to say is that trusting a human being to fully care about you alone is just e.x.a.c.t.l.y. and o.n.l.y. that. It is a human being that you are holding these expectations of and it is a human being that will attempt to fulfill them. His/Her efforts will be of a human being, it will include mistakes, disappointments and if it's a genuinely deserving person who cares for you, it will be unintentional to the very core. Because this person is human.
So you can't need that can you? You can't need a human being to care for you that way. That's my point. If some one does care and you like that and return it, that's basic gratitude and appreciation skills at work. But to think that it is your sole right to be treated with utter perfection in care, that's stupidity.
Unless and until, this need is for a different Source. The Source that ensures you have the sense of what you need to have and what you need to avoid. The Source of all your strengths and the Strength to ward away all your weaknesses.
The Source of your creation - The Almighty.
The Almighty is all you, me or any of His creations need. At the end of the day, as you count the good parts of your day, who do you thank? As you count the utterly disappointing bits, who do you pray to change that? As you smile at the memory of all those you love, who do you say "Wow!" to in amazement? As you frown at those that cause you pain, who do you expect to see the matter in justice? As you consider your own talents, who do you show gratitude to? As you realise your own sins, who do you expect mercy from? The Almighty stands by us when, where and in a way NO other being can. He provides what no one else can. He provided us with a life to begin with (!) and He will provide us with all that we need within it till the end. He provides us with endless, unconditional, absolute love.
It's all we need. HE is ALL we need.
