A couple years back, about three days before Christmas, I was sick with bronchitis and could hardly get out of bed. My brother-in-law was on his death bed from a major stroke and my sister had to put down her best friend and companion, Shadow. It was a Monday night, and before going off to sleep I asked God, “How can I be strong for others when I can't even be strong for myself?”, then I went off to sleep with tear in my eyes. The next morning when I woke up, I realized what had happened. An angel came to see me and I could recognize their smile and even their hair. I knew it was my good friend Mike because I was able to recognize his face. There were no words spoken between us but everything that I needed, I felt it there at that moment in my heart. The pain I felt from being sick was no longer there and I was given the feeling that everything was going to be okay. The love that was radiating from him was so powerful that my heart felt like it was going to explode from so much love! It was amazing! I didn’t want the feeling to go away! I had no idea that that kind of love even existed and I realized that there’s only one place that kind of love comes from! God Himself! So when you think that God isn't listening, He is.
