Angels Among Us
I feel like I should share my beliefs, not because I want to shove them down anyone else's throat, mind you. You have to believe what works for you, whether it makes sense to others or not. For me, conventional religion doesn't make total sense anymore. It was created by man to control man and is used as a reason to hate and kill people who disagree. Don't get me wrong. There are many valuable lessons to be learned from the Bible. Love your neighbor as yourself, do not kill, love your Creator, and respect the people who love and care for you, to name a few. I'm on board with all of those.
I was raised Methodist, and while I do not regularly attend church anymore, I still hold my upbringing dear to my heart. If not for church, I wouldn't have developed the beginnings of my relationship with the Creator, whom I still refer to as God for all intents and purposes. Do I know if God is a He? No. I'm open to Him being a Her or having no gender at all. It doesn't matter. I call God a He because that's what I'm used to.
I am neither physicist nor theologian. I do not denounce the theories of scientific minds. I'm open to them and find them interesting, but I choose to believe God created us. That's what makes sense to me. He put each of us on Earth for a reason and sends His angels to deliver messages and watch over us as we live and work to fulfill our purpose, which I believe is to learn to love and accept ourselves and others, for all our flaws and downfalls.
The idea of angels is one of my fascinations. I believe they appear to us in a form we're apt to trust and listen to in times of need. You never know when you'll meet one. Everyone has something we need to hear, so if you ever feel compelled to talk to someone, you probably should, especially if they seem to stand out to you for some inexplicable reason.
I tend to idealize people as angels when they share something important with me or something that really resonates with my heart, which can be misleading. Humans are beautiful, imperfect beings who need the love and support of others in order to be good. Evil occurs where there is an absence of that. Never leave anyone alone in the dark. Everyone needs to be helped out of the hole they're stuck in sometimes. While important lessons are learned from walking through the darkness, we should always help lead people back to the light when they're ready to take our hand.
