Angels

Before I was a Christian, I was always interested in angels. I used to wonder whether or not a family member from heaven was in a room watching me, keeping me safe.

Now that I am a Christian, I still wonder the same thing. I also wonder whether or not these angels disguise themselves as normal people in public.

Before I tell you a story, I want to give some biblical references to angels in the Bible. 

Matthew 4:10-12 "Jesus said to him, "Away from me Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the LORD your God and serve him only.'" Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him."
Luke 4:10 "For it is written: He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully."

There are many other examples of angels protecting us. I would love to list them all, but if you are curious, go to www.biblegateway.com and type in the search box "angel(s)" and you will find other examples of how God uses angels to protect us.

Anyway, I was traveling for the first time on a train last night to visit family in Ohio. At the station, I was observing my surroundings until my eyes caught this old man who was sitting diagonally from me. I saw that he was interested in me. He had a faint smile, and looked so peaceful. Every so often we looked at each other and smiled. But, I wonder... Does God send down his angels to represent normal people in public places to look after us? After looking at this man, I wondered to myself whether he was an angel. But, I guess I will never know, for it says.. Hebrews 13: 1-3 "Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so some people have shown hospitality to angels without even knowing it."

It amazes me that angels are all around us and I wanted to share. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
