“Their angels always see the face of my Father” – Matthew 18:10
A little girl gets lost in a crowded market, panic rising as strangers blur around her. Just as tears well up, a gentle hand touches her shoulder—it’s her mother, who had been watching all along. The fear that felt overwhelming moments before dissolves in the safety of being seen and found.
Jesus teaches that even the smallest are not overlooked, for “their angels always see the face of my Father” (Matthew 18:10). Like the child in the market, we may feel lost or unseen, but heaven never loses sight of us. Angels quietly guide, protect, and remind us that God’s care surrounds us in every step. Their ceaseless gaze toward the Father assures us that we are remembered, defended, and never alone. The Father who treasures children also treasures us, surrounding our weakness with His strength. When fears rise or life feels uncertain, we are invited to live with the childlike trust that God’s presence—through His Spirit, His Word, and His angels—never lets us go. You are never forgotten. Heaven walks with you, and God’s love keeps you safe.
