GUÉNAELLE

The hardest thing for me is to accept my limits. I want to do so many things, but each day I have to adapt to my condition.

I have a motor-neuromuscular disorder that prevents my brain from correctly passing information to my body. Different parts of my body, from head to toe, will sometimes tremble or become paralyzed. I have difficulty with basic tasks, such as moving, speaking, reading, writing, and understanding others. When things are especially hard, the elders from my congregation pray with me. When they do that, I feel calmer right away.

Whatever trials I face, I feel that Jehovah God is always there to sustain me. I do not want my illness to prevent me from serving him fully. I make it a priority to help others to learn of the Bible’s promise that soon Jehovah God will make the earth a paradise, where suffering will be no more.​—Revelation 21:1-4.

To think about: In what ways can you, like Guénaelle, show your compassion for others?​—1 Corinthians 10:24.
