Hello Friend, how are you doing today? 

I found this thought from a talk very encouraging and thought I'll share with you. I'll be brief. 

 

The final Assignment we all have is to Endure. ( Mat. 24:13).

 

So even when you can't do much anymore, due to health issues, age, persecution or economic hardship, endurance becomes your final assignment, that becomes all that Jehovah requires of you. 

 

That alone is a big assignment, because, if you don't endure whatever you are facing now, you could give up and fall into Satan's traps. And Jehovah would lose you. So your endurance daily, is a big deal to Jehovah, and your gift in hand to him. 

 

If you just focus on your hope for the future, and endure (Comparing yourself to your past achievements or to others will only make you sad) then you are doing as much as those active in various forms of service, in Jehovah's eyes ( Heb. 12:2) 

 

Your endurance is your best now, and Jehovah appreciates your best more than anything else

 

Trust in Jehovah. 

Never lose sight of him. 

He will help you. He has promised (Isa 41:10,13

 

So keep on enduring. Don't give up. You are doing great in Jehovah's eyes. 🤗

 

Thanks for your time🙏

Interestingly this compliments the first talk from the British Branch Visit yesterday. Remain Loyal and Endure Forever. Endurance does not just include bearing painful circumstances. It is also positive, a stable state which lasts a long time, even forever. Eg an enduring friendship, a building that endures many centuries. So to endure forever is actually a reward for remaining loyal. Just keep going.

Very interesting outlook. Thank you for sharing Sister Abigail🤗

 

I enjoyed the program immensely too. The talks, the campaign videos and the interviews of the children who tried a new food made it so enjoyable. 

 

I loved hearing the Children react to the new food. That cute Asian girl who gave a thumbs up, after tasting the food, was my favorite.

                                                                       WHAT IS ENDURANCE?

 

"In the Bible, enduring means more than simply putting up with trials or adversity. Endurance involves our mind and heart, or the way we react to hardships. A person who endures manifests courage, steadfastness, and patience. Endurance is “the spirit which can bear things, not simply with resignation, but with blazing hope,” says one reference work. “It is the quality which keeps a man on his feet with his face to the wind. It is the virtue which can transmute the hardest trial into glory because beyond the pain it sees the goal.”" --- w16 April, p. 14
