Do not forget to do good and to share what you have with others.—Heb. 13:16.

 

Loyal love goes beyond what is expected. Today, as in the past, many of our brothers and sisters have chosen to show loyal love for fellow believers, even to those whom they do not know personally. For example, when they learn that a natural disaster has occurred, they immediately want to know how they can help. When someone in the congregation falls on hard times, they do not hesitate to reach out to that person and help in practical ways. Like the first-century Macedonians, they do more than what is expected. They make personal sacrifices, giving “even beyond their means” in order to help their less fortunate brothers. (2 Cor. 8:3) Observant elders today gratefully acknowledge the help that loving brothers and sisters provide. Timely and warm commendation will give the brothers and sisters the strength they need to carry on.—Isa. 32:1, 2. w21.11 11 ¶14; 12 ¶21

Doing good is something that Jehovah views as a sacrifice to him;

Loving concern of others is a distinguishing mark of true Christians.

[Gruder]

Today's text goes well with the WT lesson this past weekend. We need to continue to grow in love. It's an identifying mark of God's true organization. It's not just a suggestion but Jehovah expects us to continue to add to our love.
