Angels Never Say "Hello!"

My grandma told me about angels. She said they come knocking at the door of our hearts, trying to deliver a message to us.

"No use waiting for the angel to open your door," Grandma explained. "You see, there is only one door handle on the door of your heart. Only one bolt. They are on the inside. Your side. You must listen for the angel, throw open the lock and open up that door!"

The angel never says, "Hello". You reach out and take the message and the angel gives you your instructions: "Arise and go forth!" Then the angel flies away. It's your responsibility to take action."
