Angels among US. . . .

Those who fear the Lord direct their friendship aright, for as they are, so are their neighbours also. Sirach 6:17

As, we are heading towards a New Year, we always, tend to set aside the year gone by. Let us take time to remember all the goodness around us. Let us remember the good people, the People, who I know to be Angels.

The purpose of "Angels Among Us" is to share my interest in Angels with you...Angels are mentioned in the Bible many times...And, it is my belief that they truly are among us. ...Are you aware that you have been an Angel to someone?

The word angel has always been associated with supernatural heavenly beings. There is this wonderful dream, I once had, the one I love the most. I dreamt that I had wings, and not just those artificial wings, but wings that grew from within. And I still remember that feeling, something that felt so real.

People around us are angels among us. There are angels everywhere. There are angels where I am right now. There are angels wherever I go. There are angels among us! If you could hear my mind, this is what it would be saying.

Angels Comfort You

I remember the night before my brother’s accident, God reached out to me through my kind neighbour who I had not seen in a very long time. We met in the elevator, and she just gave me this huge hug. The girl, I never knew, on the way back home, advised me to never give up. This all happened at midnight. People, are sleepy at that time. So what is it that motivated them? The resounding answer, definitely is God. Now picture it this way, God knows the storm is coming, and He embraces me to prepare me for the worst, before that He actually advises me to GO ON, not to stop and never look back. It is the Almighty, reaching out through people. People I call Angels. And I am surrounded by them all the time. Do you hear that, there are angels among us.

Angels Guide You

I know all of us go through periods in our lives when we seek for guidance. Most especially during times when we need to make certain life changing decisions or needing to choose a certain path.

I believe, we are surrounded by angels all the time. There have been times, when I needed so much of a push. And there would be just that poem or article that would not only inspire me but would motivate me to go to another level. What was that? It was God breathing in my direction. God, guiding me, through another person.

To those persons, my unsung angels, I thank you. There are angels among us.

Angels Help You

Back when I was a kid, we had met with a severe car accident. Our car was standing in a topsy-turvey manner (upside down). Anyway, there were people, who stopped their vehicles and helped us. To me they will always be angels.

Another instance, I clearly remember, my cousin telling me of a person, who was wounded and lying on the side of the road. My cousin, was in a hurry, and he left. But later, he regretted his decision. He prayed to God, to give him a chance, so that he could be of help. And what can I say, God heard him. When returning home, he saw that man still there. My cousin, got down from the vehicle and took the man to the hospital, and paid for the medical supplies. Angels, they are always around.

Angels Inspire You

Often, we give up. Most often, we need to hear that words of encouragement that come about. I am grateful, to God, that if a condition has arisen, God has arisen for me, each and every time. Often, we neglect the people that come to us and give us sound advice. We think that we know better.

To each and every one I know, whenever you have given me advice, I have thanked you. And I still do. And the reason I thank you, is because you are my Angels. Now you know. I am surrounded by Angels.

And to you, all of you, you all are my friends, you are my Angels too, and you inspire me, more than you will ever know. I thank you, I love you and I thank God for you.

Angels Teach You

The last conversation, I had with my brother, is something I clearly remember. And part of me wishes, that I had been more attentive to listening to every-word he spoke. I never knew that would be the last conversation I would ever have with him.

What I learnt from that experience is, that no matter what, never let any worries keep you from listening to another person. Cherish each moment because it is a Gift from God.  My brother was my angel.

Angels Love You

I believe one of life's precious gifts is to be truly loved..

Maybe at times, you have been terrified. Maybe, you’ve broken down when you could no longer be brave and strong. Maybe at times, you’ve been stubborn.

But there will always be someone who chooses to stay. Always stay focused on the good, kind, and compassionate side of a person. Always accept enough support and encouragement.

I know I am loved for who I am. And in that warmth, I can allow myself to soar. I could hear God whispering softly, "You have met your angel today."

Angels are Reflections of God's Love

Yes, we all are. In the deepest core of our beings, we are that which is love. As I am coming to a close on this topic, there are so many memories that seem to rush in reminding me of the countless people, -angels among us really- who have come to comfort, to inspire, to guide, to help, to encourage, to lift me up, to make me laugh, to teach me, to love and so much more.

Yes, we are all angels, and we are flying because we have each other.

REMEMBER: The mirror always reflects. If you walk right by God, and if your walk is faithful, then most definitely you walk with angels. But hold on, I can’t be the judge on that, all I know is I have always been surrounded by angels and I know you are too.

CONCLUSION: At the beginning of the topic, I shared my dream, of being an angel. Being an angel, does not only imply that one has wings. But it means, that one behaves in a manner of being God’s helper, in the best applicable manner. When we stand by for anybody, we each represent God’s glory, thus becoming His angels. I say it again, we have Angels among us….. And to all of you, my wonderful angels, I wish you, 'A very Happy New Year.'
