Angels
MARY
BAKER EDDY
When angels visit us, we do not hear the
rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast
of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they
create in our hearts. Oh, may you feel this touch,
— it is not the clasping of hands, nor a loved person
present; it is more than this: it is a spiritual idea that
lights your path! The Psalmist saith: "He shall give His
angels charge over thee." God gives you His spiritual ideas,
and in turn, they give you daily supplies. Never ask for
tomorrow: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present
help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you
need every moment. What a glorious inheritance is given to
us through the understanding of omnipresent Love! More we
cannot ask: more we do not want: more we cannot have. This
sweet assurance is the "Peace, be still" to all human fears,
to suffering of every sort.
