Prodigal:\u00a0 Do you think angels are real?<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 The bible says they are.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 How do we know if they are there?<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 We don’t always know but we have to just \u00a0live by faith and not sight with that topic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Charles Spurgeon writes in his book Joy in Christ’s Presence<\/p>\n

How hard it is to talk of love in such a way as to convey what is really meant by it!\u00a0 How often have my eyes been full of tears when I have realized the thought that Jesus loves me!\u00a0 How my spirit has been melted within me at the assurance that He thinks of me and carries me in His heart!\u00a0 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!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear reader, can you say of yourself, “He loved me”? (See Galatians 2:20).\u00a0 Then look down into this sea of love, and try to guess its depth.\u00a0 Does it not stagger your faith that He loves you so?\u00a0 Or, if you have strong confidence, does it not enfold your spirit in a flame of admiration and adoring gratitude?\u00a0 Even the angels have never known such love as this!\u00a0 Jesus does not engrave their names upon His hands or call them His bride.\u00a0 No, this highest fellowship He reserves for worms such as ourselves, whose only response is tearful, hearty thanksgiving and love.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Great is thy love for me!\u00a0 How Great is thy love for you!\u00a0 Lets take time to enjoy it just this minute.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psalm 94:17<\/p>\n

Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.<\/p>\n
