How do you suppose angels feel about life? If I had to choose two words I would say, “passionate joy.” They see only the perfection in all of life and they are God’s messengers. What other message does that energy of creation have other than love?<\/p>\n

When we tune into our spirit we can hear that message, loud and clear. Love, love, love. I often get messages from people asking why they can hear or feel the angles or why angels aren’t working in their lives.<\/p>\n


\nI always remind people that we do have to listen and we also need to believe that we can already hear them. That message of love is all around us if we decide to have the eyes to see it. Their message is easily seen when we allow ourselves to tune into the love and stop listening to our mind’s endless litany of judgment and desire.<\/p>\n

But how do we believe if we don’t believe? How do we hear if we have never heard? How do we see the hand of God in everything when we are searching for proof of that presence in our lives?<\/p>\n

The short answer is by having gratitude. What does gratitude have to do with feeling God’s presence and seeing and hearing angels? Everything and nothing. Let me explain.<\/p>\n

That energy is always around us we just have to tune in, just like a radio station. If we are on a Jazz station expecting to hear rock we just won’t hear it. We will hear Jazz no matter what we say we want. Gratitude is the best way I know of to tune into the angel\/God station. If we feel grateful for what is we will hear the loving voices of the angels and God. If we are busy looking for those voices we are tuned into the doubt station and all you will hear is more doubt.<\/p>\n

Gratitude is a short cut that will take you to the station of love every time.<\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
\nSusan<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n
