Week 60: I Never Thought I Was an Angel
I never thought I was an angel....
Until Porfidio honestly confessed that he wants us to help him know why he`s a son of God and what God expects of him. That´s when teh humble calling sank in. I, a little girl of 22 years, am counseling a man of 58 how to change his life to be more happy. I, who feel I know so very little, am entrusted in Heavenly Father´s holy wrok of salvation. As he said that, the impression came that we arehis angels. In a moment of need, we are sent as ¨angels to beckon (him), nearer (his) God to thee,¨ as the hymn I love so much so well puts it. That´s why I can`t hear this hymn without tearing up, especially that part. Because one month ago, the person that changed my life so completely--Hermana Zelada--confided to me on our last day together that to her, I was that angel sent to beckon her nearer to God. It`s not said with pride, rather with great humilit, gratitude, wtih the weight of hat that responsibility implies.

To see the conviction in her eyes sunk into my heart. As we hugged her to say good-bye, I realized she has changed my life. I love her so much!Until Porfidio honestly confessed that he wants us to help him know why he`s a son of God and what God expects of him. That´s when teh humble calling sank in.
