Sunday, June 7

Serve Jehovah with rejoicing.—Ps. 100:2.

 

As Jehovah’s people, we preach to others because we love our heavenly Father and we want to help our neighbors come to know him. But others struggle to find pleasure in the preaching work. Why? Some may be very shy and lack confidence. Some feel uncomfortable going to people’s homes uninvited. Some may fear being rejected. Some may have been taught to avoid conflict with others. These brothers and sisters find it hard to approach strangers with the good news. Do you sometimes struggle to find joy in the ministry because of such feelings? If so, do not be discouraged. Your lack of confidence may indicate that you humbly want to avoid drawing attention to yourself and do not want to be in the middle of controversy. And no one wants to be rejected, especially when he is trying to do good for others. Your heavenly Father is well-aware of the challenges you face and wants to give you the help you need.—Isa. 41:13. w24.04 14 ¶1-2
