Hebrews 13:2
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have
entertained angels unawares.
I was given a gift when I lost my eye sight with the inscription "I
Believe In Angels." I remember thinking at the time that I had
known a few angels along life's way. My life was anything but smooth
as a child so I often thought of ministering angels and recognized
them for what they were and what they did in my own life. As
an adult I had sort of put the idea on the back burner.
I had become accustomed to the idea that "I" was in charge. When a
spouse dies (I had lost my husband of 34 years), you know pretty
rapidly that you alone have no control! I was definitely not in
charge! I had to summon up all the spiritual background of my life
and really put it to the test. It was during this time that I came
to the realization that God ministers to us in many ways. He
promised us His Spirit would be within us to guide us and help us
discern God's Will for our lives. I believe that wholeheartedly.
When Mardi said that tonight I began to see the role that friends and
strangers alike were playing in the daily walk of my life. Kind
concern, unspoken words, but a silent reaching out, giving me hope
that I was am alone: What Do Angels Look Like? Like the
small child who showed you the wonder in simple things. Like the
poor man or woman you took food to and they offered to share their
lunch with you. Like the pastor who showed you that it really is all
possible, if only you believe. Like the stranger who just happened
to come along, when you had lost your way. Like the friend who
touched your heart, when you didn't think you had one. Angels
come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin types. Some with
freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without. They
come disguised as friends, enemies teachers, students, lovers and
fools. They don't take life too seriously, they travel light. They
leave no forwarding address, they ask nothing in return. They are
hard to find when your eyes are closed, but when you choose to see,
they are everywhere you look, So, open you eyes and count all your
Angels, for you are truly blessed!
Angels, please send this devotional to all those who make a difference
in your life.
Dear Lord, thank you for sending angels my way. I do know
that angels are everywhere and I will be more aware of their
presence. I thank you too for the angels you have sent to me
along my life journey. I am so blessed. In Jesus name
... amen.
Have a fabulous Friday in Jesus
