I believe that guardian angels exist.
(Psa 91:11 NAS77) For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.That seems simple and direct. Of course it leaves a lot of questions. I sometimes wonder if there is one angel assigned to each person or whether they have neighborhoods assigned. Or the other extreme, maybe there are several keeping an eye on me. I have no idea but I like the idea that they exist. I sometimes remember to thank them
I think there is a lot of confusion over what angels would look like if we could see them. I like the bit of artistic slight of hand used in the comic strip Rose Is Rose. Pasquale has a guardian angel who usually appears as Pasquale with wings and a halo. Every once in awhile the cute cherub gets a bit vexed and appears in his real form with is a macho warrior from the middle ages. I like that. I have noticed that when an angel appears to someone in the Bible they usually start off with, “Don’t be afraid.”
At the same time there seems to be the ability to blend in. Notice this verse,
(Heb 13:2 KJV) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.It would seem that we don’t always know.
I look forward to meeting my guardian or guardians at a time when we can sit down over a cup of coffee and share my stupidest moments.
