Dogs, Cats, Birds, Fish, and all Pets, and Animals are God's Gifts

Dogs, Cats, Birds, Fish, and all Pets, and Animals are God's Gifts to Keep us "healthy" in life and spirit and from being "alone" in heart, mind, or spirit.

Perhaps this is why Christ is so adamant that we remember that we are never left alone. God has given each of us, his "gift" - Our pets , birds, and animals...Our Dogs.

In Hebrews 13:5, we read, “I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU.” He was left and forsaken so that God would never have to leave us. Once saved, we would always be His, and nothing and no one could ever snatch us out of His hand (John 10:28-29). Not only this, but God is not afar off. He, even the Father Himself, let alone Christ and the Spirit, has made His abode within our hearts (John 14:23). God, Who cannot be confined and Who fills all things, has decided that those who put their faith in Christ will be His dwelling place. So God is never far away or somewhere out there for the child of God. He is always near, here, and in our hearts. We are never alone, and never will we be abandoned. The Shepherd will never leave His sheep. As Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Jesus has all authority, and it is His decree that He will be in us and always with us. Praise God for His constant friendship and perfect companionship!

If we feel alone even though we have God in our hearts, we need to draw near to Him because He promises to then draw near to us (James 4: . If God seems far away, maybe it is because the devil is tricking us into thinking that way. Maybe we have let our feelings begin to inform our minds that God is absent, when of course, our feelings are leading us astray. We need to think through why we might be feeling apart from God because God never leaves us. Thus, if He feels distant, it is our move to draw near. We should take some time to praise Him, to pray to Him, to hear Him as we read His Word, and to call out to Him. If we have sin, we need to deal with it because God won't hear our prayers otherwise (Psalm 66:1 .

Let us not be duped by the devil into thinking that God has abandoned us or given up on us. He doesn't do that. Jonah ran from God, but even a child can understand that he could never get away from God. David said that there was no place He could run where God wasn't already there. Not even darkness could hide him from God (Psalm 139:7-12). God is always there, and He is in our hearts as believers. We need to take comfort in His nearness, believing Him to be close and cultivating our relationship and friendship with Him. Psalm 73:28 says, “But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works.” It is by faith that we are to choose to believe that God is near and that He is our refuge. He is near, and He is our refuge. The only question is will we take our refuge in Him and believe that He is indeed near.

If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain Dogs, Cats, Pets and Animals I have known will go to heaven. Because of the unconditional love and devotion they have had God given, Christ Risen for the benefit of humanity, of which, I am one of.

You are never alone without God and his God Given Gifts - Your Animals.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.

You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

May it be, Lord, may it be.

AMEN.
