For Pet Lovers,
The godly are concerned for the welfare of their animals..
                                                      Proverbs 12:10

Will there be animals in heaven? Pet lovers hope so, because earth's second most important inhabitants are a source of real comfort. What do we know for sure? In the coming kingdom, "The wolf and the lamb will feed together." (Is 65:25). Lambs were actually household pets in biblical days. (see 2Sa 12:3). The Bible says our pets belong to God; we take care of them for him. God says: "All the animals are mine" (Ps 12:10).Furthermore, God holds us accountable for how we treat our pets. (Pr 12:10). So here is the question we need to consider: When Adam was created, God surrounded him with animals and call it "very good". When Noah stepped out of the ark to start the world all over again, God made sure that he was surrounded with animals. So when Christ established the new earth, with renewed men and woman, since he surround his people with animals. Is it a stretch to think that God will surround us with animals in his kingdom?  The Garden of Eden was perfect but, without animals it wouldn’t have been Eden. In her book about heaven, Joni Eareckson Tada says, “If God brings our pets back to life, it wouldn’t surprise me. It would be just like Him. It would be totally in keeping with His generous character… With all the dazzling discoveries heaven will hold for me, the potential of seeing Scrappy would be…utterly joyful. Heaven is going to be a place that will…reflect in as many ways as possible, the goodness and joy of our great God.” As a pet lover that sounds good, doesn’t it?
