Monday October 9

He will guide the meek in what is right, he will teach the meek his way (Ps. 25:9).

Setting goals in our service to Jehovah helps us maintain direction and purpose in life. But these goals must fit our capabilities and circumstances, not those of others. Otherwise, we will end up frustrated and discouraged (Luke 14:28). Each servant of Jehovah occupies a special and valued place in his varied family. Jehovah did not bring us to him because we were better than others, but because he looked into our hearts and saw that we were meek and willing to be taught and molded. We can be sure that he is happy when we do all we can in his service. Our endurance and faithfulness demonstrate that we have “a sincere and good heart” (Luke 8:15). So let's continue giving Jehovah the best of us. If we do it, We will have reason to rejoice in what we ourselves have done (Gal. 6:4). w21.07 23 para. fifteen; 25 para. twenty.

How did setting reasonable goals help a sister?

Setting goals in our service to Jehovah helps us maintain direction and purpose in life. But these goals must fit our capabilities and circumstances, not those of others. Otherwise, we will end up frustrated and discouraged (Luke 14:28). Let's look at the example of a precursor named Midori.

When Midori was a child, her father—who is not a Witness—humiliated her by comparing her to her siblings and classmates. She says: “I felt like I was worthless.” But over the years her self-esteem improved. Midori says: “I read the Bible every day because it gave me inner peace and made me feel the love of Jehovah.” Furthermore, she set reasonable goals and asked Jehovah to help her achieve them. In that way, she felt joyful about what she could do in her service to Jehovah.

How can Christians “continue to renew their thinking,” and what will be the results?

Negative feelings and thoughts do not disappear overnight. Hence Jehovah advises us: “You must continue to renew your way of thinking” (Eph. 4:23, 24). Of course, to achieve this we have to pray, study the Word of God and meditate on it. Let us not stop doing these things and let us ask Jehovah to give us strength. His holy spirit will help us correct the tendency to compare ourselves with others. Jehovah will also help us to see if we have become proud or envious, and to act immediately to free ourselves from these defects.

How do the words of 2 Chronicles 6:29, 30 comfort you?

 (Read 2 Chronicles 6:29, 30). Jehovah knows our hearts. He also knows that we are fighting against the spirit of the world and against our own imperfections. When he sees all the efforts we make in this fight, the love he feels for us grows deeper and deeper.

What example does Jehovah use to express how he feels about us?

To express his feelings for us, Jehovah uses the example of a mother’s love for her baby.​—Isa. 49:15. A mother named Rachel says, “My daughter Stephanie was premature. The first time I saw her she seemed so tiny and helpless… For the first month, she was in an incubator, but the doctor allowed me to hold her in my arms every day. Those beautiful moments created a very special bond between the two. She is now six years old and she is smaller than other children her age, but I love her with all my heart because she clung to life. She has made me very happy.” When Jehovah sees us fight with all our strength to give him the best, he feels such a deep love for us. Doesn't knowing that comfort us a lot?
