“Demonstrate the proof of your love to them.”—2 Cor. 8:24.
We can show love to our brothers and sisters by making them our friends and spending time with them. (2 Cor. 6:11-13) Plenty of us in congregations with brother and sister them from different-different backgrounds and they get different-different way of doing things. We can make our love for all of them strong by focusing on their good-good ways. Love will be important during the great tribulation. When that tribulation start, how Jehovah will protect us? Let look at what Jehovah tell his people to do when Babylon was attack way back. He say: “Go, my people, enter your inner rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a brief moment until the wrath has passed by.” (Isa. 26:20) Maybe we will have to follow this same direction during the great tribulation. w23.07 6-7 ¶14-16

“The scene of world is changing.”—1 Cor. 7:31.
The way you behave must show that you reasonable person. Ask yourself: ‘People know me to be somebody who can agree with other people sometime? Or they know me to be somebody that hard head and can’t listen to anybody? I can listen to other people and even agree with them when it possible?’ The more we reasonable that the more we will be following Jehovah and Jesus example. We must be reasonable when things change in our life. When things change it can cause problems for us that we were not expecting. For example, when we just get seriously sick. Or money and food business just start getting hard. Or things change in the government that making things really hard for us. (Eccl. 9:11) It can even be hard if the organization change our assignment. We able to adjust to any new situation if we follow this four thing them: (1) accept that your situation na change, (2) think about what you can do now-now (3) focus on the good-good thing them that happening in your life, and (4) do things for other people. w23.07 21-22 ¶7-8

“You are someone very precious.”—Dan. 9:23.
The prophet Daniel was young when the Babylonians capture him. The place they carry him was far from Jerusalem. Even though Daniel was young but the people that capture him like something about him. They saw that he was fine and looking good and that he came from good family. (1 Sam. 16:7) So they train him to serve in the king house. (Dan. 1:3, 4, 6) Jehovah love Daniel because of the kind na person he choose to be. In fact, when Jehovah said that Daniel was like Noah and Job, maybe Daniel was just about 20 years old. So Jehovah take Daniel to be righteous like Noah and Job who were faithful to him for plenty years. (Gen. 5:32; 6:9, 10; Job 42:16, 17; Ezek. 14:14) And Jehovah continue to love Daniel throughout his long and wonderful life.—Dan. 10:11, 19. w23.08 2 ¶1-2
