Good night Patriots,

Here is some good news. God has impressed a message for this evening on my heart.

My daily dialogue with our Lord continues in the manner of His choosing. I will be eternally thankful for this discourse.

67% of American households have pets in their

household. The vast majority of that percentage, own either dogs and cats or both.

I will for the purpose of this thread focus not just on those, but on all animals in creation.

The fundamental question is what is the purpose of living with animals in general and what to they

do for us in particular?

In the case of horses and other pack animals their usefulness is often the primary consideration for owning one.

Let me be clear.... I do not believe that we own animals. I believe that we enter into a symbiotic relationship with them once the bond

between us has developed to maturity.

Before I go any further. Is there any evidence of animals in Heaven?

The answer is a resounding yes. One does not have to look too far to find that evidence in the Bible.

This question and answer is often overlooked by ministers of the

faith. Why is that? That is a good question and it is something that I will delve into in another thread, when the time is right.

So back to animals in our household. Why do we keep them and what is their purpose?
I will skip the obvious answers for the less obvious.

Animals are capable and often demonstrate unconditional love.

That's the primary answer we are looking for.

Those of us who have animals as companions (we don't own them in my view) understand this. If your dog or cat jumps on your lap and shows you affection and adoration

they are demonstrating their love for you. It is unconditional. Why do I call it unconditional love?

It does not matter how many times you correct or scold them for behavior that goes against your household rules, they will still show you love.

That is pure love.

That is their role. It is to teach us to love.

Has your cat or dog ever shown disrespect to a visitor or become afraid of an individual, upon making their acquaintance for the first time?

That is because that person either hates animals or has no real love in their heart.

We all know people who are allergic to, or are afraid of certain animals and that is very understandable.

I make no judgements in general of those in that category, unless their hatred manifests in a violent attitude towards animals.

The fact that God has animals in Heaven

should give you pause to ponder and hopefully this thread will assist you to understand that all creation is important to; and loved by God.

For those that doubt that animals reside in heaven, I'll ask two questions

How does Yeshua return to earth?

Who are the four horsemen?

The answers to those questions provide a quick view of the preponderance of evidence that animals reside in Heaven.

I will close this thread by inviting questions from those who are not convinced that animals have a place in Gods heart.

Have a great evening.
