The earth remains forever.—Eccl. 1:4.

 

A traveling overseer in Norway says that people who are not inclined to talk about God are often willing to talk about world conditions. After greeting people, he says: “What do you think about our prospects for a better future? Does our best hope lie with politicians, scientists, or someone else?” After listening carefully, he reads or quotes a scripture that points to a bright future. Some are intrigued by the Bible’s promise that the earth will last forever and that good people will live on it eternally. (Ps. 37:29) We do well to use a variety of approaches with those we meet. Why? Because what attracts one may repel another. Some do not mind discussing God or the Bible, while others respond better to a more indirect approach. In either case, we should take the opportunity to speak to all sorts of people. (Rom. 1:14-16) Jehovah is the one who makes the truth grow in the hearts of those who are righteously inclined.—1 Cor. 3:6, 7. w19.07 22-23 ¶10-11

 Eccl 11:6 Sow your seed in the morning and do not let your hand rest until the evening; for you do not know which will have success, whether this one or that one, or whether they will both do well.   Isn't it refreshing that there is no one breathing down our necks or pressuring us to work harder or criticizing  our lack of results. Jehovah gives us the leeway to do the best we can with what we have. Yes, as fellow workers, Jehovah treats us wonderfully.

That's a really lovely thought! All that matters is that we give off our very best... its not about the amount of hours spend in service really, its nice to have goals but Jehovah is looking for quality
