To Amanda.... You are so welcome for the thought and Bible verses I compiled about pets in Heaven... I hope you are doing well and remember it will take time to heal. Loss is a process and Jesus will be with you every step of the way. "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed." - Psalm 34:18 NLT P.S....I remembered another verse after I posted that... Perhaps the most important of all! "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." - John 10:11 ESV So remember that Jesus Himself referenced how a good shepherd will lay his very life down for the sheep. Even though He was referring to us as His sheep, this was true of shepherds, even David in the Old Testament, who fought wild animals to protect the sheep, knowing these animals could have very well killed him. I believe He loves kitties and doggies just like sheep:) So I pray He comforts You, Sister. 17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and LOVING TOWARD ALL HE HAS MADE. [CAPS MINE] 18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. 19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. 20 The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. 21 My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever." - Psalm 145:17-21 NIV Love in Christ, Rachel H. "I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy." ~ Psalm 116:1 ESV "Little children, Let us not love in word and talk but in deed and in truth." ~ 1 John 3:18 ESV
