Have you seen an angel? Well, I have. Angels are
invisible, some of you may say, but no! Some angels live among us, hidden. It’s
just a matter of being able to recognise one when you see them. I am happy to
say I have met an angel, and I was able to recognise his true self. I have seen the
angel covered behind the mask the world saw. I am happy to say, I have
found a true guardian angel.
Even through this angel did not have wings or a halo
(or maybe they were just invisible), even though this angel did not glow in the
dark; he had done so many miracles in this world. This angel had saved
so many lives, protected so many people, helped so many lost souls, and guided
so many troubled hearts into the arms of God. He knew the Bible like the back
of his own hand. This is the story of one true angel, a rare guardian angel,
sent by God to protect the people he loved, and I believe I was blessed when he
walked into my life. I believe I am lucky to have been one of the people he had
protected and looked out for.
When I first met him I saw him as a regular guy living
an ordinary life, but once I got to know him better I knew that there was no
other person worth getting to know as much as him. By looks he was a regular
guy, tall, muscular, and quite charming. He did everything a normal guy did,
including trying to work out or go to the gym. But he was also blessed with an
amazing mind and a beautiful loving and caring heart. Unfortunately, not
everyone saw it.
Just like a heavenly figure lost in the midst of
human beings, this angel was quite misunderstood. The more he tried to help
people, the more he was judged and attacked. The more he tried to be kind and
gentle, the more he was tagged as a person using people for his own benefit. To
some people he was a cheat, to some people he was a flirt, to some people he
was a nobody, and sometimes he was misjudged not only by the world but also by
his close friends and family; but he still continued to do good to the world
anyway!
Unfortunately the more good he did, the worse his
reputation shattered. People around him judged him so badly and created rumours
so harsh that his character was affected deeply; so deeply that his true self
had to be buried in a mask in front of people. The mask covered him to the
extent that his true self was not visible to the world anymore. Among people,
he was just another guy.
The angel was hurt and depressed. He did not want to
stay on earth anymore. He wanted to be free. He wanted to fly away so badly
that he kept repeating this verse over and over in his mind.
“This world is not my home
Although it seems to be
My home is with my God
In the place he made for me
He’s coming back real soon
The signs are very clear
So when the trumpet sounds
I’ll be outta here”
I don’t’ know how people misunderstood him. If they
had tried to get to know him better without just judging him, maybe they also
would have seen the beautiful angel I saw. Maybe they also would have seen him
for his true self, his true form. He has told me so many times how God
communicates with him through music. I have seen it happen right in front of my
own eyes. God DJ’d for him, and that made him happy. When I was next to him,
surprisingly God Dj’d for me too.
This angel had helped me out on multiple occasions.
He had not only guided me to God, and helped me to confide in Him for all my
problems, but this angel had also helped me understand myself. He showed me
that there is more to me than I had ever known. He showed me that I was more
powerful than I had ever imagined. I know I am nothing but just a human being,
but sometimes I wished from the bottom of my heart to have the ability
of helping him back, returning the favour. I wished for God to show me what I
could do to keep his true self alive. I wanted him to feel accepted, understood,
loved and cared for, not for being the mask, but for being the true angel he
was.
I know he will not be on earth forever. I know he
will leave this world someday for his own good once his mission was fulfilled.
It could be today, tomorrow or in 10 or 20 years, but once that day comes, when
he finally decides to stretch out his hidden wings and fly, I wished to be
there next to him. I wished to hold his hand for the very last time, as he took
off. I would smile at him, as he would ascend into heaven. As much as it would
be sad for me to watch him leave, deep down I will be happy watching his dream
come true. I will be happy knowing he is finally happy, and that his mission on
earth was fulfilled. He would be with God, exactly where he wanted to be, and someday
at the end of days if I am bleassed enough to go to Heaven, I will see him again. I know he
will welcome me with open arms and walk me to meet God. On that day I can thank
God for how much he had blessed me, for giving me the best guardian angel ever!
