I believe in God's angels. I can hear their whispers in my heart when I am uncertain. I can feel their wings around me, comforting, whenever I feel alone. I believe in His promise of eternal love and peace.

Have you ever thought that you saw someone go past you so quickly it was just a blur? Have you ever heard your name called, gently, from above? I have...the angels and their love.

Every single one of us has the ability to reach up, to grasp what the Father has offered us. Our beauty, our gifts - our rewards for remaining righteous as we travel through a world fraught with evil and temptation.

We have the light to create our own piece of heaven right here, on this mortal plane - even though there is darkness all around. With Faith, darkness recedes and fades from view.

There is a multitude of heaven's hosts that surround us and minister to us every moment we live. There are many different angels, as listed: (excerpt from the Urantia book)

The epochal angels
The progress angels
The religious guardians
The angels of nation life
The angels of the races
The angels of the future
The angels of enlightenment
The angels of health
The home seraphim
The angels of industry
The angels of diversion
The angels of superhuman ministry

Just as the names suggest, there are angels for every aspect of human existence, to watch over and protect us....to heal us and to guide us. As well as these groups, there are also Archangels.

There is so much that surrounds us that we cannot see. If we were to stop and give pause for just a moment or two...there are miracles around us, in everything we do.

May His light shine upon you and bless you upon your journey through this planet earth - ever after your death, from the moment of birth.
