The Angel Inside

It's so easy to imagine that angels exist somewhere 'out there'; that they have almost nothing to do with us, unless we ask, plead and even beg; that they are somehow 'beyond' us in goodness.

For millennia, this is how we have also viewed God, a divine force far beyond us, sitting over and above us in judgement.  Gradually, we have become aware that this divine force is a part of us.  We too are made of this divine spark.  We too are Divine.

And so it is with angels.  We too are angels.  Uncovering the divine within is uncovering the angel within.  We are those embodiments of love, grace, kindness and patience. 

Making the angel inside visible outside does not require yet more doing.  In fact, doing is often counter-productive!  Being first, doing second is far more effective. 

When we decide who we wish to be, and act from this knowingness, from this quality, we begin to create a life that is more grace-full, a life where we the divine within, the angel within are visible to others, (even if we do not always see it ourselves).
