Acquaintances

A month ago, I got involved in a terrible vehicular accident. It was really a frightening experience. However, through a miracle, my life was spared. Literally, i evaded the accident before it happened. I realized that God has protected my life. At that moment, my belief on my guardian angel was refreshed. He was sent by God to shield me from the harm that was supposed to be inflicted on me by the devil.

It was quite odd that what had happened during that time made me renew my belief on the existence of my guardian angel. I realize that God was constantly shielding me, though that experience was not a serious one, unlike before when I almost got drowned, or during that time in my childhood years when I fell from our car, and other countless times when I almost lost this life. My recent supposed-to-be-accident has triggered me to ponder on God’s love for me and his gift of guardian angel for me. I was always protected from the furious hands of death for my guardian angel was with me.

For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.
With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon.
(PS 91:11-12)

As I meditated on what has happened, I realized it made me change my views on certain things in life, on fulfilling dreams, on appreciating the value of life. I went into prayer to thank God for everything that He has done, to thank Him for sending to me my guardian angel.

I was in a deep trance when I heard a knock in my heart, as if a voice was speaking to me. I trembled slightly, but I kept my ground to focus on my prayer. At that point, God was speaking to me. Visions started to fill my view, recapping most of the events in my life, including the successes and the failures alike. But there was one thing that God wanted me to realize; I should finding joy through the simplicity of things.

I started to realign myself with the simplest things that I wanted to do: having time with my family, talking with friends, reflecting, talking to God and visiting places. My guardian angel was actively helping me to make these things into reality, constantly relaying the messages that God want me to hear. Soon, I came to realize that he has led me to a familiar yet quite peculiar place where I could appreciate the beauty of God’s work. My guardian angel tapped my back as he showed to me the spot. I was astounded by that wonderful experience; at that point, my heart was overjoyed. I was still stunned when I saw another being; she was drawing near to us. “Meet your personal angel”, my guardian angel said to me.

Joy started to consume me, as I was not able to find the words to express the gladness that I felt at that moment, nor the words to express how grateful I am to the Lord who has sent me two angels to be with me, one to guard me, and the other one to guide me. At that moment, I just felt blessed.
