I was reading my devotionals by JR Miller, i love his wisdom. On today's page he declares animals and birds have no souls.
I disagree. Watching the birds feeding their chicks, life in spring is beautiful. I have a dog, she gives such love and cares so much about us as we do for her.
The question is - what exactly is a soul and could really be true that animals do not have one? There are so many sentient beings apart from us, i am convinced they do have a soul and God cares for them. I think animals must be aware of creator God and may even worship Him. Why else do birds sing? Why do animals love life - look at puppies and kittens. They enjoy pure joy and love freely.
My dog means so much to me, i cannot possibly think she has no soul. I think she is better than many people - we say evil people are 'soul-less' - why do we say that?
To me my soul is who i really am. The essence of me. My soul is what matters most. This body is just a vehicle to be here on earth. Soul is immortal. That is why both God and the Devil want it, it is the priceless part of us. Jesus came and died so our souls have the opportunity to live forever with Him.
