"The angels of glory find their joy in giving--giving love and tireless watchcare to souls that are fallen and unholy... to bring the lost into a fellowship with Christ which is even closer than they themselves can know."
This stuff blows my mind--that angels who are in God's presence every day, take joy in watching over me, and seek to bring me into a closer relationship with Jesus than they themselves will ever have. I never have considered the question, "What kind of personality must an angel have?" This says a lot! If this is true, there are heavenly beings that are so unselfish as to be happy and fulfilled if my relationship, my walk with Jesus is even closer than what they will ever experience. Their joy is completed, in part anyway, when I walk closely with Jesus!
It makes me wonder (and this is pure conjecture on my part)... did God create these beings with this end in mind? Are there angels created for the purpose of watching over me and my walk with Jesus? Is it possible that the heavenly beings were created with human beings in mind? Am I just extrapolating this, or is there something to it?
Part of me finds it unfathomable that the Creator of the Universe and everything in it, as magnanimous as it is, would have actually gone this far... for me! Obviously, much of this posting is the musings of a flawed brain, at best. But it's an unbelievable thought nonetheless, and another angle on the incredible love of God for me!
