“I have approved you.”—Luke 3:22.
It can comfort us to know that Jehovah happy with all his people! The Bible say: “Jehovah takes pleasure in his people.” (Ps. 149:4) But sometime, some of them can really get discourage and start thinking, ‘I wonder Jehovah happy with me?’ Sometime, some of God faithful people in the Bible time use to feel that God not happy with them. (1 Sam. 1:6-10; Job 29:2, 4; Ps. 51:11) The Bible make it clear that imperfect people can make Jehovah happy. How? We must show that we get faith in Jesus Christ and get baptize. (John 3:16) When we do this one, we show that we na repent from our sins and we promise to do God will. (Acts 2:38; 3:19) Jehovah can really be happy when we do this thing them to get close friendship with him. So long we continue to do our best to live by our promise, Jehovah will be happy with us and he will take us to be his close friends.—Ps. 25:14. w24.03 26 ¶1-2

“We cannot stop speaking about the things we have seen and heard.”—Acts 4:20.
We can follow the disciple them example by continuing to preach even when the government say we must stop. We too can be convince that Jehovah will help us to do the preaching work. Pray to be brave and wise. Pray to Jehovah to help you go through your problem them. Plenty of us suffering because of sickness, somebody die from us, family problem, persecution or some other problem them. And other thing them like wars and sickness that can spread around the world, can make it really hard for us to bear our problem them. Tell Jehovah everything that in your heart. Tell him about your problem just how you will tell your best friend. Be convince that Jehovah “will act in your behalf.” (Ps. 37:3, 5) When we continue to pray, it will help us to go through our problem them. (Rom. 12:12) Jehovah know what his people going through and he can hear their cry for help.—Ps. 145:18, 19. w23.05 5-6 ¶12-15

“Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord.”—Eph. 5:10.
When we get important decisions to make, we must try to know “what the will of Jehovah is” and then do our best to follow it. (Eph. 5:17) When we find Bible principles that apply to our situation, then it mean we really want know what Jehovah think about that situation. Then when we apply his advice, it will be easy for us to make good decisions. “The wicked one,” Satan, our enemy will like for us to be so busy running behind the things in the world that we not get any time to serve God. (1 John 5:19) It possible for us to start focusing on money, learning plenty book, or on work instead of the plenty different-different ways we get to serve Jehovah. If it happen like that, then it will show that we na start thinking like people who not serving Jehovah. Even though all this thing them not wrong, but we must not put them first in our life. w24.03 24 ¶16-17
