"There
is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that
repenteth." (Luke 15:10)
“JOY
in the presence of the angels”? Perhaps the friends who have left the shores of
time may be looking down upon us; and when they see one they prayed for while
on earth turning to God, it sends a thrill of joy to their very hearts.
Even
now, some mother who has gone up yonder may be looking down upon a son or
daughter, and if that child should say: “I will meet that mother of mine; I will
decide for God,” the news, with the speed of a sunbeam, reaches heaven, and
that mother may then rejoice, as we read, “In the presence of the angels.”
