ANGEL QUOTES II
quotations about angels
I believe angels are among us, bringing comfort, strength, healing, freedom and, most importantly of all, providing a stepping stone to the larger reality that is God's Kingdom--to the very heart of God.

We are ne'er like angels till our passion dies.
THOMAS DEKKER
The Honest Whore
We are not alone in our struggles. We have help from beyond. Sometimes such help is wondrously manifested in encounters we cannot rationally explain. Sometimes such help is mysteriously conveyed through the hands and hearts of those we meet in the flesh. A corollary underpinning is like unto the first: Whether we recognize it or not, God wills good for all human beings. The key, of course, is whether we welcome the help and the holy intention.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary.
JAMES MADISON
The Federalist, Feb. 6, 1788
Be content not with your lot in life but with being here in the flow of life. The glories of creation are in your very cells; you are made of the same mindstuff as the angels, the stars, and god himself.

Angels are around us, angels beside us, angels within us.
LESLI WHITE
"Signs You've Encountered An Angel", beliefnet, February 25, 2016
Angels are manifestations, unquestionably real to those who encounter them, of a world larger, better, and infinitely more beautiful, intelligent, and anchored in the reality of God than ours is. The existence of angels drives home the fact that we are not lost and alone in this modern flatland of materialism, but come from, and will return to, another, better place.

WILLIAM BLAKE
King Edward the Third
For when God said, "Let there be light, and there was light," if we are justified in understanding in this light the creation of the angels, then certainly they were created partakers of the eternal light which is the unchangeable Wisdom of God, by which all things were made, and whom we call the only-begotten Son of God.
