Angels of God are
watching over us. Upon this earth there are thousands and tens of
thousands of heavenly messengers commissioned by the Father to prevent
Satan from obtaining any advantage over those who refuse to walk in the
path of evil. And these angels who guard God's children on earth are in
communication with the Father in heaven. “Take heed that ye despise not
one of these little ones,” Christ said; “for I say unto you, That in
heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in
heaven” (Matthew 18:10).
Scarcely
any of us realize that angels are about us; and these precious angels,
who minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation, are saving from
us many, many temptations and difficulties. The whole family of heaven
is interested in the families here below; and how thankful we should be
for this interest manifested for us day and night.
Words
spoken in our homes which are impatient and unkind, angels hear; and do
you want to find in the books of heaven a record of the impatient and
passionate words you have uttered in your family? Impatience brings the
enemy of God and man into your family and drives out the angels of God.
If you are abiding in Christ, and Christ in you, you cannot speak angry
words.
Fathers
and mothers, I beseech you for Christ's sake, to be kind, tender, and
patient in your homes. Then light and sunshine will enter your homes,
and you will feel that bright beams from the Sun of Righteousness are
indeed shining into your hearts.
It
is the absence of the graces of God's Spirit that leaves the home in a
dark, unhappy condition. Your home should be a blessed sanctuary where
God can come in, and where His holy angels can minister unto you. If
impatience and unkindness are manifested one to another, angels cannot
be attracted to your home; but where love and peace abide, these
heavenly ones love to come and bring still more of the holy influence of
the home above. In heavenly Places p. 99
