Angel of God, my guardian dear
For whom God’s love commits me here.
Ever this day be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide,
I am a firm believer of angels. Angels to protect us throughout our lives and to comfort and listen to us in a time of need. Some are constantly felt or seen by the ones they are protecting, while others are rather sneaky and leave their human spirits feeling lonely. Of course, not one person is left without an angel. Not only is every human spirit guaranteed an angel, but every human spirit deserves and needs one. These angels are given to each and every one of us to listen and understand, much like friends. They are loyal and, whether we realize it or not, they know everything: Our fears, our talents and our sins
Now, I am also a firm believer of the “everything happens for a reason” motto. Each person we meet has something to offer. Negative or positive growth, it is up to us whether we learn from the lesson they teach. There is no such thing as a bad friendship or a bad friend. Quite frankly, I call every person somewhat involved in my life my “Best Friend” because each and every soul has something wonderful and beautiful to offer. Yes, if I dig deep enough I could find something rather distasteful in everyone, but there is nothing to put a dent in the enormous amount of love I have for each of them.
Lastly, I believe that sometimes, by some miraculous act, our spiritual angels take the form of a friend or random spirit here on earth. To help give us a push when we don’t want to listen to what we can’t see. I was fortunate enough to have an angel find me and change my life forever. This glorious soul was sent to me in the form of a thin, tan, redheaded, bubbly girl from San Diego who had to live with me for an entire year. Yes, this angel was randomly my freshman college roommate. She had a personality that would capture and engage each person she spoke with. She was extremely thoughtful and understanding and accepting. But most of all she was passionate. She was passionate about her friends, her sorority, her dogs and her God. An avid reader of the bible and a best friend of Jesus, she would openly engage in conversations about her religion with believers and doubters. She had an absolute eternal love for her friends on earth and her friends watching over her in heaven. A love that I wanted to obtain.
Fortunately, she would drag me along around with her. I was a sad, lost puppy who had found someone to follow around until I was comfortable to be let off the leash. It was one tiny act of inviting me to spend my spring break with her on a mission trip in New Mexico that allowed me to break free of the leash and gain confidence to walk on my own. It was this minuscule moment that changed me. Her simple act of love (one in which she most likely doesn’t remember) opened up an entirely new world for me. It was through her soul that I realized how important each and every person in life can be. Because of this beautiful soul of hers, I was introduced to the love above all other loves. Without the intercession of her life into mine, I would be, as Mumford & Sons would say, a Hopeless Wanderer.
“So when your hope’s on fire
Don’t hold a glass over the flame
Don’t let your heart grow cold
Hold me fast, Hold me fast
I’m a hopeless wanderer”.
So it’s about time to say thank you. Thank you dear angel for capturing my heart and allowing such love inside. If it were not for you, I would not have felt the deep love God has for me nor would I be able to help bestow that love on others. I owe oh so much to you and can only hope to provide the same love to others lives that you have provided me. So thank you dearest Allison Mary, thank you.
