YOUR LIFE IS WATCHED OVER BY NUMEROUS ANGELS!

From the time we are born, we are blessed with the love of our parents and grow up well. Eventually, however, we may be struck with grief when one parent dies, a relative has a misfortune, or the family suffers a financial setback.

Even after they reach adulthood, they continue to suffer emotional scars from various failures, such as failure in entrance examinations and employment, and failure in love. In the course of working as a member of society, we feel the difficulty of self-realization and harmony with many other people.

In the family, suffering and sadness also follow. The sorrow of not being able to have children. The sorrow of having children but not being able to raise them satisfactorily. Disharmony within the family. As we grow old, the loneliness of old age also comes with time.

However, the time of sorrow is prepared on purpose as a time to make our souls shine.

For example, just as a sword is burned red, hammered, and placed in water, your soul will become a sword of steel by passing through the waters of sorrow several times.

Therefore, in times of grief, your soul is being tested, your courage is being tested, and your life is being tested to see if it can become a poem.

How to live cheerfully through the sorrows of life? How to live beautifully? How to live artistically? Therein lies the truth of what it means to be human.

When human beings eventually leave earth and return to the heavenly realm, what remains in the depths of the soul? There is a term "joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure," and it is often these extreme thoughts and experiences that are imprinted on the soul.

In other words, you can be sure that what you think about in your time of grief is imprinted in your soul. What did you think about in your time of sorrow and grief? And how did you try to live? That is what will be deeply engraved in your soul.

You are not the only ones who know about your life. Remember that your life is watched over by numerous angels.

They are always watching the lives of each and every one of you on earth from the heavenly realm. When you are sad, they are sad, and when you are happy, they are happy as well.

In this way, I would like you to remember at all times that there is a being who walks with you and lives with you. Sometimes the angels walk the path with you on their backs.

You may believe only in what you can see and not in what you cannot see. But I want you to know how much love is hidden in what you cannot see.

How much your loneliness will be healed when you know that your invisible neighbors are watching over you day and night and shed tears with you when you are sad.
