Where the Angels Are

“Be careful. Don’t think these little children are worth nothing. I tell you they have angels in heaven who are always with my Father in heaven.” – Matthew 18:10 (NCV)

If these children have angels do you? What does it mean to you to have an angel who is always with God? How important is each child to God? What are they worth? How do you treat people who are worth so much to God?

The following story found at:

It was a cold day in December. A little boy about 10-year-old was standing before a shoe store on Broadway in New York City. He was barefoot, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.
A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?"
"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's reply.
The lady took him by the hand and went into the store, and asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with a towel.
By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she then purchased him a pair of shoes, and tying up the remaining pairs of socks, gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?"
As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words: "Are you God's wife?"

Sometimes when we realize people have angels who are with God, we can become angels to them! Be careful how you treat everyone you encounter, because they are worth everything to God. Today go become an angel to a child who has an angel so that at least one child may know angels are for real!

With hope and joy,

Garrett
