Guardian angels are divine agents of God set to protect and aid humans on earth in times of need. “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” – Psalm 91:11 NIV

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
