The angels stand in awe of God's redemption plans for men. They wonder at the great favor towards men of every station in life. And they are green with envy that God has offered man His heart! I'm sure their greatest fantasy is to be like man. And many of us aspire to be like the angels. We just don't simply understand our blessed lot in this life and in the one to come! TR Ha! I was going to reply “nope, I’ve never seen a St. Patty Day angel” but I see what you did there by saying the angels are green with envy because of the relationship God has with man. Yes, indeed Angels are in aw how they saw Jesus humble Himself by leaving Heaven’s glory and took on a human body and gave His life a ransom to redeem man back into God’s family. I’m sure they are also amazed that we can sin and yet the Lord is faithful in removing those sins when we pray and ask for forgiveness and the fellowship is immediately restored once more. Sadly we just don't realize what we have been given, nor the depth of love or joy that causes God to glory in us! Talk about humbling! It almost can make one feel sorry for the angels. That said, it does highlight how great God's grace is towards each of us! Again, I am reminded of those who chase after and envy angels. Satan surely feels the sting of being considered only a servant of the Most High. Never able to call Him friend or lover, his rage will continue throughout eternity! TR I know I’ve never seen one of Gods heavenly angels because if I had I’m quite sure they would have been shaking their head and face palming :groan Seems to me that many of us have entertained angels unawares. The closest that I have gotten to one has to be when a sister in the Lord shared that the Lord had revealed my guardian angel to her. She then began to describe it for me. TR
