The Answerer

I am, again, amazed at your honesty and candour. You warm my heart.

Why do you respect a being you don’t really know? First, someone, somewhere, is praying for you…regularly. Is someone in your extended family a Christian? In another way you have heard his name often – most probably as a swearword or a curse by someone in anger and frustration. You heard it but did not like it. Nobody uses the name Buddha, Confucius, Krishna or other gods as a swearword, only the real God, the one in the Bible is in those peoples mind. And just maybe, ”Oh God!” is a cry for help.

In Genesis it says : “And God said: ‘Let us make man in our image and likeness.’” ( Genesis 1:verse 26). And He created Adam…and later Eve. You and I are made in God’s image and likeness so one could say that we are made to be like God.

And about angels, Jesus said of children: “Beware that you don’t look down upon a single one of these little children. For I tell you that in heaven their angels have constant access to my Father.” (Matthew Chapter 18:10-11).

Children are precious to God and angels are constantly around them. And in Psalm 91:11: “He will give his angels charge over you.” And Psalm 34:7: “The angel of the Lord encamps around them that fear Him and he delivers them.” GOD CARES FOR ALL OF US. So, I wonder if God is preparing you for a life that is special to Him in some way.

Do have a read of a Bible – a bit every day. If you do not have one most churches will gladly give you one for free. In its pages are the answers to most of our thoughts, joys and worries. But you have got to ‘dig them out’ and that’s a joy nothing else can give.
