In the loneliness of your hearts, I hear some of My children whisper:

"God, I do not feel that I have friends."

You may have a novel reader's idea of what friendship is. Friendship is something you are pulled to and also pulled away from. You want it, and you don't want it. You feel that there are many others in life who have a multitude of loyal and true friends that stay, yet not you.

You have had it with romance the same. You wonder why you invested so much of your heart in romance when romance never came true for you. Never lasted. Romance for you dropped by the wayside, and so you mourn, and so you rue.

There are those who share the Earth with you who may get disappointed in Me and even rail against Me, whereas, with Me, you are salient. If love were a ship that sails, I am that ship you sail on. You may be disappointed in Life yet never do you feel that I let you down. Come what may, you experience Me as here for you. I buoy you. Odd, isn't it, that you have such a resourceful relationship with Me and, yet, perhaps not so much with your fellow travelers.

Friendship is a challenge for you and a challenge that makes you sad. Without much to-do, you and I have an understanding. You understand Me. You feel My Steadfastness. You‘re taking comfort in Me.

You don't keep Me on a leash. People you tend to keep on a leash, and, therefore, you are tied up with what you see as disappointment. With Me, you feel enriched.

Dear Ones, it is safe to love and be loved. In fact, the energy of love is the safest, most healing, restorative energy there is. It is your birthright, your true essence, and as natural and necessary to you as breathing.

What has happened is somewhere along the way, someone tried to sell something to you as love that wasn't love at all. Deep in your being you know what love really is, and what it isn't. What you are trying to avoid is the absence of love because that is what causes you pain.

Choosing not to love to avoid the absence of love, is only perpetuating separation and the continuation of the denial of self. Do you see? Blaming and avoiding love is faulty thinking and holding yourself outside of the very thing that will bring you the relief, healing, connection, and joy you seek.

Love. Trust your ability to give and receive real love. It has been there all along. ~Archangel Gabriel

What you feel you need, you are given. What you feel you want, you are given. You have to trust it. ~ Creator

It is definitely not a good idea to spend your life feeling sorry for yourself. By the same token, it is not a good idea to spend your life pitying anyone either. Feeling pity isn't good for you to send out any more than pity is good for you to receive. Feeling pity isn't an achievement. It's more like a dismissal.

Of course, naturally, this isn't to say you are to be hardhearted. Being firm is not the same as being severe. You do not always have to be the good cop. There is plenty of merit in the world for directness. Do not mistake directness for unkindness. You are not meant to be a sob sister in life.

Beloveds, what you see as someone's lot in life may well not be the way the person sees his own life. You know, be careful about making any kind of pronouncements about your life or another's. What you say may ring a bell of finality. Do not settle someone's life, nor settle for the world's distinctions of your life as if what the world says is your template to go by. Don't take a blotch on the surface of your life or anyone's life as the summation of the Life Itself.

Outer appearances are not a model to go by. This is why it is said, when someone appears at your door, be gracious, for the seeming beggar could be a Sainted Being. Have you not dismissed people in your heart because of their outer appearance? Opportunity isn't something you want to miss.
