Dear One,

Many people deal with loneliness and a sense of not belonging because it is their soul's choice to do so. There are many reasons for this which the human embodied self does not know since its own experience is the pain of feeling lonely. In the state of not belonging or not fitting in, the heart develops a longing for companionship, a longing for love that may not have been present before. This longing is essential to the growth of the embodied self. It is part longing and part prayer that results from loneliness - the longing to feel connected and the prayer for Divine assistance in creating healing for the heart.

You must not think, however, as you go through this, that there is something wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you, beloved one. You have just chosen to go through a period of time with a healing path that will ultimately open your heart to greater connection to others and a deeper capacity to love. Allow yourself to long for these things and pray for the healing of your heart in this area.

Your own soul is guiding you through this healing journey which is part of your embodied life's cycle. It is not part of your soul, and therefore as you leave this plane and rejoin the higher part of yourself that is your essential self, you will not be dealing with the same themes that you have needed to deal with in this lifetime. It is also true that if and when the goals that your soul has chosen are met during this lifetime, then the situation can change within this present time period. Pray for this. Let your longing turn into love and let your love reach out to others.
