Treat Everyone as Your Angel!

by Rev. Dan Strodl, O.M.C.

I had suspected skin cancer on my nose, and saw a consultant at the skin clinic who gave me a blood test to see if it was benign or malignant.

I found the whole experience with the consultant very difficult. First of all he made no eye contact with me. While he was talking he was looking at the computer screen, and never looked at me. He had a miserable expression on his face. I had a lot of questions, but he had no time for me. I felt like I was being ignored, and pushed out of the office.

A week later I had an appointment with the same consultant to get the results. I felt full of fear about what the results might be, and I was apprehensive about seeing the same consultant again.

Before I left the house, I connected to the Holy Spirit. I said “I am frightened, and I don’t want to see this consultant. How would you have me see this?” I sat there quietly for a few more minutes, and then the thought came into my mind “Treat everyone as your Angel.” This seemed like a strange response to my question, but I had nothing else to go with ... so I went with it. 

I turned up at the consultant’s office, and before I walked in I imagined him as my Angel. Then I noticed the fear had gone ... I felt peaceful and happy.

I walked into the consultant’s office and said hello to my Angel. To my surprise he smiled and made eye contact with me. We made small talk, and relaxed in each other’s company. Then he told me the results of the blood test ... It was cancer. He explained that under normal circumstances they would have to take out a large piece of skin around the cancerous growth to make sure all the edges were clean, but I qualified for a new procedure. Under this new procedure, they remove only a small portion of skin around the cancerous growth, and then test it in the lab next to the operating room while I lay on the operating table. If all the edges were clean I was good to go.

Then he gave me the bad news ... there was a four month wait for this new operation. I felt so upset, and I told him I couldn’t cope with cancer growing on my nose for the next four months. Then my consultant angel did something unexpected. He explained that he normally doesn’t do this, but he would give me the surgeon’s private secretary’s phone number. He suggested I call her and see if there was any way they could fit me in sooner.

I went home and called the private secretary ... and treated her as my Angel. I felt relaxed and loving, and we got into a beautiful chat. Then I asked if there was any way I could be seen sooner. My secretary Angel said she would ask the surgeon, but it may take a couple of weeks to get back to me. She said she would do the best she could. I hung up the phone, quieted my mind, and moved into a place of accepting whatever the outcome might be.
A minute later the phone rang … it was my secretary Angel! She said that there had just been a cancellation, and if I could get there in fifteen minutes I could have it. I flew there, and fifteen minutes later I was on the surgeons operating table! The operation went ahead successfully. 

Now I treat everyone as my Angel.
