JULIANA
I have a painful autoimmune disorder that can affect the heart, lungs, and blood. It has already affected my kidneys.
I was ten years old when I was diagnosed with lupus, a disease that has caused me pain, fatigue, and mood swings. At times, I feel worthless.
When I was 13, one of Jehovah’s Witnesses called at our home. She read me Isaiah 41:10, in which Jehovah God says: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. . . . I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.” That’s when I began studying the Bible with Jehovah’s Witnesses. Today, some eight years later, I serve God wholeheartedly, and I’m determined not to let my illness control my life. I feel that Jehovah has given me “power beyond what is normal,” so that I can keep a positive attitude.—2 Corinthians 4:7.
To think about: How can Isaiah 41:10 help you to keep a positive attitude, just as it helped Juliana?
