Could we forbear dispute, and practise love, We should agree as angels do above.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People who act like angels ought to have angels to deal with.
We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.
If man is only a little lower than the angels, the angels should reform.
To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.
We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.
Our acts our angels are, for good or ill, our fatal shadows that walk by us still.
If we focus on loving others the way God does, scripture says that we will be fulfilling His whole law.
In prayer, we stand where angels bow with veiled faces. There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend. And shall we come there with stunted requests and narrow, contracted faith?
We are never like angels till our passion dies.
