The Little Girl In The Park

Authour Unknown

There was this little girl one day sitting in the park. Everyone passed and never stopped to see why she looked so sad. Dressed in a worn pink dress, bare foot and dirty, the girl just sat and watched the people go by. She never tried to speak, she never said a word. Many people passed, but never did one person stop.
  
Just so happens the next day I decided to go back to the park, out of curiosity, to see if the little girl would still be there. Right in the very spot as she was yesterday she sat perched on high, with the saddest look in her eyes. Today I was going to make my own move and walk over to the little girl. For as we all know a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone.

As I got closer I could see the back of the little girl's dress was obscenely shaped. I figured that was the reason the people just passed by and made no effort to help. Having deformities was a low blow to our society and heaven forbid if you should make a step toward assisting someone who is different.

As I got closer, the little girl slightly lowered her eyes to avoid my intent stare.
As I  
approached her, I could see the obscene shape of her back more clearly. Grotesquely shaped in a humped over form. I smiled to let her know it was ok,
I was there to help, to talk. I sat down beside her and opened with a simple "Hello".
The little girl acted shocked and stammered a "Hi" after a long stare into my eyes, I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked till darkness fell and the park was completely empty. Everyone was gone and we were alone. I asked the girl why she was so sad?

The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said, "Because I'm different."

I immediately said, "That you are!" and smiled. The little girl acted even sadder, she said, "I know."

"Little girl," I said, "You remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent." She looked at me and smiled.  She then slowly stood up and said,"Really?"

I replied, "Yes ma'am, you're like a little angel sent by God to watch over all those people walking by."

She smiled again as she nodded her head 'yes'.   Then the most amazing thing happened.  The humped over form on her back disappeared and in its place was the most  beautiful set of wings you could ever imagine!  
Surely I was seeing things.  I fell to my knees.  She put her tiny hand on my shoulder and said, "I am an angel and the Lord Jesus sent me to give you a message."   She continued, "I saw you here yesterday but you didn't talk to me.  I was hoping you would come back to the park today." Jesus sent an angel to tell me a message?   I was speechless.  She stood in front of me, her eyes looking right into mine.  " Jesus asked me to tell you that He loves you."

My eyes welled up and tears started streaming down both cheeks.  With all my faults, with all the bad things I've done in my life Jesus still loves me! He loves me so much that He sent an angel to tell me so!  As the angel started to walk away I jumped to my feet and asked, "Wait, so why did no one stop to help an angel?" She looked at me and said, "You're the only one that could see me, you believe, it's in your heart and God knows that."   I reached for my purse to get some tissue and when I looked up she was gone.   My life has never been the same since.  Now I am a follower of Jesus!

While  this may be only a story I believe angels sent from God do walk amongst us here on earth.  They could be disguised as a sad little girl in a park just like in this story.  They can be a  homeless person looking for something to eat or an elderly lady needing help to cross the street.  If you don't have a relationship with Jesus I pray that you will reach out and come to know Him.  He loves you just as you are.  Accept Him as your Saviour and ask Him to come dwell within your heart.

John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
