The quarantine and the restarting American society has been pulling at the heartstrings of the populace. During a point in time when society is working on trusting one another again, it seems that guardian angels are needed more now than before. Some people may understand guardian angels as the same as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy. I fully accept the existence of guardian angels. As my life has progressed, I have grown more resilient which I attribute to my guardian angel. I would not be able to fully address the things that I have lived through regardless of what other people have thought about them.
People are created to trust other people. We are designed innately to work with one another and to work with what we have been given by God. When life pulls at our heartstrings, it is with the help of our guardian angels that we can be stabilized or even comforted a bit. Whether someone wants to attribute this comfort and understanding as the Spirit of God or not is that person's decision; however, our guardian angels keep us company in life. Angels are charged with being messengers and guardian angels are charged with God's message of protection for the individual and the Kingdom.
Our guardian angels help to remind us that when we were created God's intention was to pour out all of His blessings and riches upon us such that we would have prosperous, long lives. He wanted people to to know and enjoy beauty, to be strong, to live in wisdom, to embrace pleasure, and to be honored and live honorably. This Loving Creator wanted the best for His creation. The very best to Him was a relationship with Him. Some people like acts of service, words of affirmation, physical touch, or receiving gifts much more than quality time. A relationship with God -- what concerned Him the most during the imago dei creation process, was loving interaction with His newly formed people. God's love language is quality time.
During this tumultuous time of Covid-19, people have lost material things while others have stood around spouting that they should have saved, prevented, being willing to lose these things for God's plan, or even that they are learning to be grateful for those creature comforts like -- shelter, food, and clothing, safety, and employment. Some relationships have been torn apart over smaller things than the Covid-19 pandemic, but this was not what God intended life to be. He mourned the possible loss of a relationship with his creation and refrained providing secure rest to us. He wanted us to be designed to need Him. If we did not need God, then we would not seek Him at all while finding contentment in the things that we have and not in the Creator that provided them.
We were given the ability to be blessed with riches beyond imagination yet weariness for what really fulfills our souls. Comfort within our daily lives while still living points of mundane activity. We have blessings with agitation and anxiety during times of turmoil. We have our humanity with which we embrace the divine. People are designed this way such that neither God nor the people lose the most precious jewel of all -- a relationship with God.
In this relationship, God's guardians help us to have what we need for our own protection. They are the messengers of God's protection. Perhaps, a person at work likes to play power games in Zoom meetings and outside of the meeting, you receive an email accepting responsibility for the error on the other side and not your own without the knowledge of the others. This is the guardian. Perhaps, a leader wants to manipulate a situation in the person's favor and evidence is found of the manipulation. This is the guardian at work. Perhaps, someone wants the house and car you own, so there is an attempt to economically dis-empower your family leading to the termination of the individual due to EOE violations. This is the guardian at work. When people try to punish you through forms of public humiliation and demean the divine spark within all of us, their deceit is found out through investigations. This is the guardian's protection -- the bringer of the shelter of peace and not creating human puppets through enslavement.
Often, the problems of another towards you can be minimized by others stating that is the Evil One causing it to excuse the works of those in a hierarchy or in the name of safety -- the safety of social manipulation. The Evil One -- nor the demon liquor -- didn't cause others to chose the way that they did. The desires of their hearts did. The desire of God's heart is for the protection of His people, so we were given the blessing of the angels -- the bearers of Good News.
We are pulled around by both good and evil. Since we have been prohibited from inner rest and regardless of material or character possessions, we are drawn into a relationship with God and one another. A hedge of protection or a shelter of peace raised over us to guard and guide from those around us intent upon personal gain and the wealth of their own power gives us another reason to live in the warmth and love of God. Allow it to be wrapped around you as it is done to me through the guardians of peace.
