Hi Ricki
Angels are beings that fascinate me. They seem to be contradictions in many ways. They are both far above humans yet far below them - They are always in the presence of God, yet have no souls and yet at the same time have free will - which implies that they have souls?
They are creatures of the spirit used by God as messangers and protectors - yet as God is infinite he can achieve anything so this implies angles are not necessary. I feel that as we could not survive dealing with God directly, so angles are a 'go between" there for our protection. Yet at the same time they are powerful dangerous creatures - fluffy wings and robes are not the reality at all - thou they can appear in ways that put us at ease, - so if beautiful features & robes & stuff would reassure us - then thats what they would have - maybe
I think if we had dealings with an angel - we would be either terrified, or not affected at all -- the significance of the event would only sink in much later.
Finally, there is nothing at all to stop you being an angel Ricki - as it was explained to me that "Angel" is an office, not a being - and that when some people are called angels, it is a truer term than was realised.
Funny that you mentioned plan, angels carry out Gods plan. Of course Lucifer is also an angel - so I guess you could be the other sort as well (thou I dont think so
