He'd strode the halls of heaven year on year, and stood before the throne of the Most High. No demon yet had ever made him fly, or any king on earth filled him with fear. But as a teenage girl from a small town gazed at him like a young deer poised to flee, the thought of what he'd come to say filled him with awe so great that for an instant he was speechless. In the silence of that room, the angel Gabriel dropped down on his knee.
What beautiful words.
