Nor does it mean that other forms of animals don't have relationships
with God in their own way. I believe that every single creature was
made for the pleasure of both God and man. That God takes notice of
even the little sparrow is confirmed by the Lord: "Are not two sparrows
sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground
without your Father." Matt 10:29.
