It's not about God - although I would've loved it to be about Him - and if it relates to you in that way, then take it as such.
This is a girl (or guy) who has been hurt enough to build walls around him/her. She/he doesn't trust her relationships, so when this person meets this "someone" - she/he is very "cautious" at first.
This person even tries to "test" this person to see if they are for real.
Its like Ive been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin
Its the risk that im takin
You know how sometimes people do that "game" to test others to see if they're really sincere. Trust issue. Perhaps Beyonce's character pushed this guy over the edge to see if he would still be committed? Sometimes that's risky - because you don't know if they'll stay committed, but she tested him because she simply had to know for sure. It's a foolish way to be secure, but that's what it meant.
However, this person came to some point in his/her life and they are convince that this special "someone" is indeed the real thing! And the "halo" revelation is that she finally sees that he's a good man! Thus, in the first verse, all her guard is let down without a fight, she trust him.
So with that understanding, I think the rest is self explanatory. :)
I accidentally crossed paths with a previous girl friend. She wanted to change our dating status to friends back then. As a teenager I could not handle that. So I left, put up walls around my heart. And began to destroy my life. 20yrs later after both sharing our true feelings and forgiving each other...I cried for 3 weeks everyday not knowing why...we are each married and both have children...She wanted me to let it all out and I did. During these weeks all my sins stopped. She was always perfect in my eyes. Anything she says now or requests,...

During these weeks all my sins stopped. She was always perfect in my eyes. Anything she says now or requests, I do it because she only has good intentions and I see it in her. I now feel like Jesus is living within me because of this. I think Jesus used her to get into my heart. She is either an angel or my true love. We will always be friends now. Now I can begin my life. She said this song Halo is about me. I don't expect her to share her portion of her feelings with me, she's married now.
@songburdie Personally being a reformed atheist I would hate it being about "god" or anything religious, but the reference about halo as she describes it here isn't a halo in the way religious people think. It's in no way a reference to a golden ring hovering above anyone's head, its a reference to the nature of a person or to describe it in a different way, about the type of energy a person has.

I generally don't listen to beyonce at all as she has to much "girly" (in the lack of a better word) music for my taste. I prefer metal and that genre and more upbeat songs. However I will say that this song does represent what I hope to be to someone someday. I thought I was recently and got both spirit and heart utterly crushed to the point that I had to seek help.
That was some weeks ago now, and these days I am of a different opinion. She gave up on me, and while I will give her a second chance if she wants it, I won't even think about her otherwise for the very reason that I know what I want and if she just wants to be friends, well then that isn't going to work for me. I know that I will always want more if we have that so she has to make up her mind what she wants.
@songburdie I would love to hear Leona Lewis sing it too, love her! But this is a song a Virgo ♍️ like Beyonce and I should sing bc of how we are difficult to open our hearts because of how we find it hard to trust others in love. Beyonce character probably did put the angel thru hell to test him and Virgo does that. This was my song to my ANGEL & it came out when we met. He's a Scorpio ♏️ so they are Hella hard to open up and will put u through hell to test...

This song is very easy to interpret:
It's not about God - although I would've loved it to be about Him - and if it relates to you in that way, then take it as such.

This person even tries to "test" this person to see if they are for real.
