Touched By An Angel

Do you wonder whether there are angels among us, who they are, and what they look like?  Do guardian angels at times come to the aid and comfort of humans?  Do you believe you have a guardian angel?  Many ordinary people, both children and adults, have had uplifting, true extraordinary experiences and life-saving messages from their guardian angels, archangels, ascended masters, deceased loved ones  and helpful strangers who appeared from out of the blue during a crisis and then suddenly disappeared.

In a Time magazine poll, it was revealed that 69% of Americans believe in angels in America, and 46% of that group believes they have a personal guardian angel. Although there is no scientific evidence for guardian angels, the existence of guardian angels is in Bible stories and in many anecdotes from people who believe these guardian angels, spiritual beings, have changed their lives. Guardian angels are often a matter of faith and many believers of guardian angels offer their beliefs on what the role of guardian angels in a person's life and how we can enlist the assistance of our guardian angels.

What Are Guardian Angels?
Guardian Angels are spiritual beings that are thought to be assigned to protect and guide people in various ways. Whether there is one angel per person, one angel for several person or several angels for one person is open to question; however whether you believe in guardian angels or not, or whether you want a guardian angel or not, believers insist that you do have a guardian angel.

What is the Assignment of Guardian Angels?
Guardian Angels are believed to intercept at many times in peoples’ lives and assist wherever they can to make our lives run more smoothly. At times Guardian Angels may inspire a thought to spur us into action, or Guardian Angels may lend us super-human strength, such as in the case of a woman being able to lift a car long enough to free her trapped child. In fact, there are many guardian angel stories where people are touched by an angel, which are often put down to luck or coincidence rather than to believe that there are truly guardian angels among us. However for those of us who have been touched by an angel there is no doubt that the miracle touch of a hand of Light was behind it.

Do guardian angels come to a person’s rescue every time they are called upon?
At times guardian angels stand back, holding a person in compassionate, loving support only, as the person works things out for themselves. It is these times when we can feel alone experiencing the dark before dawn. Come to know that your guardian angel is always there.
