In the video we see that the brother was exhausted after a long day of work, but he heard his son's invitation to preach, and his love for Jehovah and for people did not prompt him to go out again. Despite the fatigue, she remembered that the truth can change lives, as it did with him in the past. Love gives us the strength to persevere and share the message, even our energies fail.

The reason we need love to preach when we are tired is because we live in a fast-paced world, and it is normal to feel exhausted by hard work, but we can remember what John 5:3 says that the commandments of Jehovah They are not a burden.

It takes love to preach when we are tired because it is not easy, it is something that requires effort. Furthermore, Christians are not immune to the effects of mental fatigue, emotional pain or overwhelming situations, since our imperfect human nature is fragile, but what moves us to fulfill this commandment is the love we feel for our creator.

We saw how the brother got up very early to fulfill his work responsibility and it was a long and exhausting day, but despite his fatigue he decided to obey Jehovah and strive to fulfill his mandate of preaching the good news. In this way he was able to please Jehovah and demonstrate that this commission is not a burden and he was also able to set a good example to his son of putting the Kingdom first.

When we love Jehovah and our fellow human beings, our desire to share the good news and fulfill the mandate to make disciples will be above all.

Love motivates us to persevere, to show compassion and patience, and to continue serving despite adverse circumstances. Additionally, love helps us stay positive and remember that our service is a reflection of our love for God and those with whom we share the message.

When they don't treat us well.

Love is essential to preach the good news, especially when we are not treated well, that is when we face rejection or even hostility, and this love will push us forward and remind us that we are all imperfect and that, as he did Jesus, we too must show compassion and patience towards others.

Love allows us to persevere, even when circumstances are difficult, and the reasons why we want to share the hope and comfort we find in the scriptures. So, although we do not always receive a positive response, love motivates us to continue preaching and imitate the example of perseverance of biblical figures such as Jesus Christ himself, the apostle Paul and Barnabas, among others.

No one likes to be treated badly, but out of love we try to understand why they behave that way. Maybe we had this attitude before, but over time we managed to have a different attitude.

As true Christians, we must show the mark of every Christian and that mark is the love we have for our neighbor, that is what motivates us to treat our neighbors with kindness, tact and respect, even if when we carry the message they do not treat us. Well, our attitude should never be to argue, but rather to understand putting ourselves in people's shoes, perhaps before we were equal, however if we have the attitude of kindness we will give a good testimony of the God we represent.

Love allows us to maintain a compassionate, patient and merciful attitude towards them, since loving God and our neighbors helps us overcome offenses and respond with kindness and respect, following the example of Jesus, who showed love Even in amidst adversity and hostility.

Furthermore, love enables us to see beyond the negative actions of others, and drives us to continue sharing the message of hope and salvation with humility and perseverance, always seeking that others come to know the truth and thus be saved.

When we carry out our daily activities.

We need love when we carry out our daily activities, because this love will drive us to take advantage of all the opportunities that are presented to us. and in the video we saw that her sister started a conversation that allowed her to offer biblical advice to someone she was serving in a supermarket. Even though the young woman expressed her fears about marriage, the sister did not judge or pressure her, but instead offered her a helpful resource: A contact card so she could access Bible-based marriage advice. .

This love will drive us to put the person's interests first. since this love and personal interest in others also motivates us to always be prepared with the Bible and publications, even if we are attending to our own affairs. In the same way, it makes us alert and willing to take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to us to preach and even encourages us to create these opportunities.

Sometimes we find it very difficult to start a conversation with a stranger. Even if it is an acquaintance, we could feel somewhat uncomfortable and not dare to speak about the truth. But if we meditate on how good Jehovah is, on the spiritual treasures that he has given us, and on the lamentable situation in which the people of the world find themselves, the desire to express ourselves will arise.

Love is essential to preach the good news in our daily activities, such as at work, school or during our shopping, because it allows us to reflect the character of Christ, since he preached at all times and where he will be found. So we can find common ground with someone and speak the truth through it, just like the sister did in the video.

Love also enables us to be patient, compassionate, kind and respectful at all times, which can open doors to share the message of hope and salvation in a simple way. Furthermore, by manifesting love in our daily activities, we demonstrate that our faith in Christ impacts every aspect of our lives, inspiring others to pursue a meaningful relationship with Jehovah.
