One Wise Angel

“There is an old fable that tells of a time when man had grown so evil that the angels decided to take all goodness and wisdom away from him. But once taken, where would they put it? Man’s hunger for domination over everything was so insatiable that no place was safe. One angel suggested burying it deep within the earth, but the other angels knew that man would mine the earth in search of all its riches and find the goodness and wisdom, so that would not work. Another suggested the ocean, but again that idea was squelched. After pillaging the earth, man would certainly move to the ocean to strip its treasures and thereby find goodness and wisdom. What about the outer space? No, there was no way man would stop at the earth and ocean. In his quest, man would move out into space to try to conquer that as well. No, goodness and wisdom would not be safe there. Where would they put it? Finally one wise angel said, “We will put goodness and wisdom inside of man, for with everything we know about him, that is the last place he will ever look.”
And so it is to this day, all the goodness and wisdom of God and all his angels becomes buried and hidden deep within the hearts of all people of every color, every country, of every religion and belief as they learn and grow from little sweet innocent children to adults. “Lest we become as little children we shall not enter the Kingdom of God. “ It can take a life time to unlearn it all. So, to find your goodness and wisdom the richest treasure of all; you must learn to listen from the heart, where you will find the greatest treasure of all; the truth of who you are, then you will see everyone for who they really are; as perfect and innocent as little children.
