Читать книгу A Little Angel Love: Spread Happiness and Inspiration, with Help from the Angels - Jacky Newcomb - Страница 4

‘Angels belong to a uniquely different dimension

of creation which we, limited to the natural order,

can scarcely comprehend.’

BILLY GRAHAM

Who are these beautiful beings of light? Is it true that we each have our own guardian angel watching over us? For as long as recorded text has existed, people have written their stories of personal protection by some unseen presence, a being of light. And before recorded text? Stories were told around the camp fire of these celestial beings, and passed from generation to generation.

The shepherds in the Bible were frightened of them; others revered them. Many saw angels as unapproachable. Most religions recognize angelic messengers in one form or another and many people believe in guardian angels, our own special defenders.

‘An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory ofthe Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. Butthe angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring yougood news of great joy that will be for all the people.”’ LUKE 2:10-12

Never more than today have we been able to share these stories without ridicule. The appearance of an angel, an angel visitation, is called ‘angelophany’. But not all experiences are related to actually seeing angels. All angel experiences, in whichever way the angels choose to draw close, are precious gifts which grow with the sharing. Each time a story is passed on the experience expands, and lifts and enlightens more and more people. Just the telling of angel stories is a powerful thing in itself!

People from all over the world have shared their angel stories with me. Each story is individual to the owner, although there are many similar themes which run through these special moments. People who have never met have experiences, maybe years apart, where the essence or reflection of their story is the same…the touch on the shoulder, the time in their life when it happens, the vision of a ‘being of light’, and so on.

‘An angel is an intelligent essence, always in motion.It has free will, is incorporeal, serves God, and hasbeen bestowed with immortality. Only the Creatorunderstands its true nature.’ JOHN OF DAMASCUS

Do you have a story of your own, or one that a close family member has confided? Often we forget and then the tale of another will make us go, ‘Oh yes, that reminds me of something which once happened…’ Other people say, ‘I have never told anyone this before,’ or worse, ‘I told someone once and they said I must be dreaming so I never shared it with anyone again…until now!’ Isn’t it sad that one person might feel the need to take a life-changing moment away from another? In most cases there are no witnesses, it’s not something which is easily proven, but why worry? I have never felt the need to prove any of my experiences to anyone and neither should you! Enjoy and be comforted by your angel visitations and share them with people who appreciate them!

Pop stars and TV personalities freely talk about their own belief in guardian angels these days, and openly discuss their personal experiences. This makes it easier for the rest of us to share the miraculous experiences which have happened to us, the many millions of ordinary folk around the world. But of course, you don’t have to be famous to have an angel story of your own. These anecdotes come from all countries and all cultures, and seem to occur to people of all religions, all ages and both sexes. Angels are for everyone and you have a guardian angel of your own.
