Prodigal: Do you think angels are real?
Me: The bible says they are.
Prodigal: How do we know if they are there?
Me: We don’t always know but we have to just live by faith and not sight with that topic.
Charles Spurgeon writes in his book Joy in Christ’s Presence
How hard it is to talk of love in such a way as to convey what is really meant by it! How often have my eyes been full of tears when I have realized the thought that Jesus loves me! How my spirit has been melted within me at the assurance that He thinks of me and carries me in His heart! But I cannot kindle the same emotion in others, nor can I give, in writing, so much as a faint idea of the bliss that is contained in that exclamation, “Oh, how He loves!”
Dear reader, can you say of yourself, “He loved me”? (See Galatians 2:20). Then look down into this sea of love, and try to guess its depth. Does it not stagger your faith that He loves you so? Or, if you have strong confidence, does it not enfold your spirit in a flame of admiration and adoring gratitude? Even the angels have never known such love as this! Jesus does not engrave their names upon His hands or call them His bride. No, this highest fellowship He reserves for worms such as ourselves, whose only response is tearful, hearty thanksgiving and love.
How Great is thy love for me! How Great is thy love for you! Lets take time to enjoy it just this minute.
Psalm 94:17
Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
