May our love for the lost come close to comprehending God's love for them, and the awful price he paid for all of us to avoid that horrible fate.

I belong to other groups and when one of them loses a pet they always talk about it crossing "The Rainbow Bridge". Comforting maybe to some I guess. I don't know what God has in store for us out in eternity and though I'd love to see my pets again, the Scriptures say:
Ecc. 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Who knoweth the
spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Grace and peace friends.
