God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'

Angels speak. They appear and reappear. They feel with apt sense of emotion. While Angels may become visible by choice, our eyes are not conducted to see them ordinarily any more than we can see the dimensions of a nuclear field, the structure of atoms, or the electricity that flows through copper wiring.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote emphasizes the idea that there are unseen forces and entities in our world, akin to angels, that we may not ordinarily perceive.
Billy Graham's quote reflects on the existence of angels as metaphorical representations of higher emotional states or forces that are present yet invisible to us. Just as we cannot see certain elements of nature, such as electricity or atomic structures, we are often blind to the deeper spiritual or emotional dimensions that influence our lives, inviting us to recognize and be open to these subtle forms of existence.
