Angels We Have Heard

DISCLAIMER

This blog is where I record a limited depiction of my feelings, family, and faith. My blog was recently under intense scrutiny, and so I feel this disclaimer is necessary. I try to tell my story as openly as I can, but this blog represents a cropped and narrow-viewed version of my story -- like all social media -- it is NOT the full story. Many events happen behind the scenes that are not recorded or written about, due to the sensitive nature of others involved. Life has many layers. Many layers can be shared and many cannot, and this blog is simply a layer of my life that I allow others to view, but it is not an accurate depiction of all the layers of my life.

Angels We Have Heard

I absolutely love this video. I cry every time the angels appear. I have a special love for angels now, more than ever. For a fantastic article on how angels communicate with us click: HERE. I would have thought it a "nice" article before Charles died, but now it is amazing to me. It has really helped to answer some of my questions.

Here are some snippets from the article "Angels we Have Heard":

“Usually such beings are not seen. Sometimes they are. But seen or unseen they are always near. Sometimes their assignments are very grand and have significance for the whole world. Sometimes the messages are more private. Occasionally the angelic purpose is to warn. But most often it is to comfort, to provide some form of merciful attention, guidance in difficult times. …

“… I testify that angels are still sent to help us, even as they were sent to help Adam and Eve, to help the prophets, and indeed to help the Savior of the world Himself. … Such ministrations will be to the righteous until the end of time.”²

Because “angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost” (2 Nephi 32:3), it’s possible that when we perceive the voice of the Spirit in our lives, it may be the result of angelic ministration. Of course, the Holy Ghost can and does speak directly to us and can dwell in our hearts (see D&C 8:2), but it seems that angels always deliver their messages through the medium of the Spirit, whether they are unseen and speaking in a “still small voice” or standing before our eyes and speaking with a “voice of thunder” (1 Nephi 17:45).

I want you to know I believe in angels. They can communicate with us through the power of the Holy Ghost. I am learning how to recognize the whisperings, and the deep burning in my heart. I am learning to see not with my eyes, but with my heart.

Believe and listen. Believe and feel. Believe and see.

Angels are among us, always.

I am never alone.

And neither are you.
