Angels Are Preparing Me For Eternity

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to
bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Ex. 23:20

All heaven is engaged in the work of preparing a people to stand in the
day of the Lord's preparation. The connection of heaven with earth seems
very close. . . . 
The heavenly intelligences are waiting with almost impatient earnestness
to make Him known to the human agents, that they may be laborers
together with these heavenly angels in presenting Jesus-the world's
Redeemer, full of grace and truth. . . . 
The first tear of penitence for sins creates joy among the heavenly
angels in the courts of heaven. The heavenly messengers are ready to be
on the wing to minister to the soul who is seeking Jesus. . . . 
Grand and glorious things hath God prepared for those who love Him.
Angels are looking forward with earnest expectation to the final triumph
of the people of God, when seraphim and cherubim and the "ten thousand
times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands" shall swell the anthems
of the blessed and celebrate the triumphs of the mediatorial
achievements in the recovery of man.
Jesus counted the cost of the salvation of every son and daughter of
Adam. He provided abundant means that, if they would but comply with the
conditions, none need perish, but might have everlasting life. . . .
Every heavenly intelligence works as His agent to win man to God.
59
The angels of glory find their joy in . . . giving love and tireless
watchcare to souls that are fallen and unholy. Heavenly beings woo the
hearts of men; they bring to this dark world light from the courts
above; by gentle and patient ministry they move upon the human spirit,
to bring the lost into a fellowship with Christ which is even closer
than they themselves can know.
