Monday, May 8

He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more.—Rev. 21:4.

 

Satan uses leaders of false religion to say that Jehovah is cruel and is responsible for man’s suffering. Some even say that when children die, it was God who took them because he needed more angels in heaven. How blasphemous! We know better. When we are stricken with a serious illness or when someone we love dies, we never blame our God. On the contrary, we have faith that one day he will make things right. We can tell everyone who will listen what a loving God Jehovah is. That gives him a good reply to make to the one taunting him. (Prov. 27:11) Jehovah is a compassionate God. He hates to hear us cry out because of the suffering that we are enduring—be it persecution, illness, or our imperfections. (Ps. 22:23, 24) Jehovah feels our pain; he wants to stop it, and he will stop it.—Compare Exodus 3:7, 8; Isaiah 63:9. w21.07 9-10 ¶9-10

That's what gets me through this awful system.  I know my love for my family is nothing compared to Jehovah's love for his family.  He will put an end to this very soon.  We just have to keep holding on.
