Angels Long to Look

Balsamroot longing to see the sun

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29 NIV

“What a fellowship what a joy divine leaning on the everlasting arms.” Lyrics from “Leaning On Jesus”  by A.E. Hoffman

… Even angels long to look into these things. 1 Peter 1:12 NIV

Does God enrich our lives in ways we fail to comprehend?
Something of great value that tears cannot upend.
Joy in God’s forgiveness when we should receive the sword.
A closeness achieved when we lean upon our Lord.
Believing in God’s grace when feelings tell us flee.
Trusting Christ is with us when defeat is all we see,
Oh, but how God uses darkness to help our faith to grow.
This bond with our Savior, even angels long to know.
