How the Bible Describes Angels

The Holy Bible has so many to say on Angels, Here are some points to remember:

Angels are referred to as masculine, although neither do they have a sexual distinction nor do they marry.

In the Bible we see large numbers of Angels many times.

Angels are very fast; they have great speed.

Angels are very strong but they are not all powerful (omnipotent).

Angels are very wise

Some Angels are good and some angels are evil; the evil ones are called demons.

On My birthday

I just need a prayer to be at peace with myself.

I’m tired of fighting daily with my self esteem and self image.

Each year when it’s my birthday in this month I never feel happy because nobody except for a few of my close friends celebrate it.

I just for once to be happy with me and my life. I need to stop being jealous of everyone else’s lives, because I feel have nothing.
