No good thing will He withhold from those who walk
uprightly
- Psalm
84:11
Remember the movie “All Dogs Go To Heaven”?
That question is heavy on my heart this
morning.
See, yesterday afternoon I took our two dogs to
the vet for their annual rabies shots, and I came home with only one dog.
It has been scientifically proven that people
that have pets are happier than those without.
Pets love us unconditionally (whoa – God loves
us unconditionally too!) and fill a void in our lives.
Playing with a pet increases the levels of the feel-good chemicals serotonin and
dopamine in your brain.
Yet, pet ownership is not always easy – there is
training and expenses and more training.
We expect them to live forever, and that simply
doesn’t happen.
When we lose a pet we hear all about the
Rainbow Bridge and that we will see them again when we get to heaven.
But in reality, the Bible doesn’t directly
address whether our pets will be with us in heaven.
The best advice is for us is to love our pets
and enjoy them while they are here with us—and trust God in everything for the
future.
He sees and knows all, and nothing is too hard
for Him to do.
God knows how much we love our pets and how
much they mean to us.
Perhaps God may allow our beloved pets to be
with us in heaven.
We must be willing to allow God to order things
as He sees best – “no good thing will He withhold”.
We can trust God that heaven will be a place
filled with everything necessary for our happiness.
I believe that includes our pets.
Have a blessed day!
