⁵ The apostle Paul was happy to serve Jehovah, but it was not always easy for him. Most of the time, Paul use to travel long distances, and to travel was not easy that time. When he traveling, sometime he use to be “in dangers from rivers” and “in dangers from robbers.” His enemy them use to even beat him sometime. (2 Cor. 11:​23-27) And the brother them in the congregation was not always grateful to him for the thing them he use to do.​—2 Cor. 10:10; Phil. 4:15.

⁶ What help Paul to continue serving Jehovah? Paul learn plenty good-good thing them about Jehovah from the Bible and from the thing them he pass through. What he learn convince him that Jehovah love him. (Rom. 8:​38, 39; Eph. 2:​4, 5) And that one make him to get strong love for Jehovah. Paul show his love for Jehovah “by ministering and continuing to minister to the holy ones.”​—Heb. 6:10.

(1 John 3:​21, 22) One sister name Khanh in Asia say: “First I use to love Jehovah because of what I learn about him. But when I saw how he answer my prayer them, my love for him got more strong. And it make me to want do thing them that will make him happy.”b

⁹ Some years after Paul became Christian, he saw one young man name Timothy. Timothy use to love Jehovah, and he also use to love people. After some time, Paul told the Christian them in Philippi say: “I have no one else of a disposition like [Timothy’s] who will genuinely care for your concerns.” (Phil. 2:20) Here Paul not talk about the way Timothy use to organize the work or the way he was good speaker. But what touch Paul heart was the love Timothy was having for the brother them. Yes, we sure that the congregation them use to always be happy for Timothy to visit them.​—1 Cor. 4:17.

10. Anna ɓɔga pɔɔ nu, te dɛɛvɛ ɣɛ le ga wõila ɣa te ya te ɣaa yɔwɔ̃itiɛ ʋaa ma?

¹⁰ We can look for ways too to help our brother and sister them. (Heb. 13:16) Let look at the experience about Anna who we talk about in the article before this one. After one heavy breeze, she and her husband went to visit one Jehovah Witness family, and they find out that the roof on the family house spoil. Because of that, the whole family clothes were dirty. Anna say: “We carry their clothes and wash them. We also press and fold them before we carry them back. To us it was not anything, but what we did make our friendship with them to get thick from that time up till now.” Anna and her husband help the brother and sister them because they love them.​—1 John 3:​17, 18.

11. (a) Ani da ɣaa ɓaana diɛ dɛ ga wõila ɣa de ya, towa ɓɔ numaa ɓalaaga va ɣɛ le? (b) Zɛɓɛi Jehova ɣa kɛ ani da dɛɛna ga wõila ɣa de ya e ɣɛ velei Proverbs 19:17 boga la?

¹¹ When we kind and show love to people, they will see that we trying to follow Jehovah example. And sometime they will be grateful for what we did for them more than what we can even imagine. Khanh, who we talk about before, can be happy when she remember the brother and sister them that help her. She say: “I really grateful to all the sister them who carry me in field service. They use to come to my house, gave me food to eat and make sure to carry me back home safely. Now I know that they really use to work hard. And they were happy to do it.” That true, not everybody will tell us thank you for the thing them we do for them. See what Khanh say about the people them that help her. She say: “I wish I can pay them back for all the good-good things they do for me. I not know where all of them living now-now but Jehovah know. So, I can pray for him to pay all of them back for me.” The thing Khanh say that true. Jehovah can see all the good-good thing them we can do for people, even when it small. He look at it to be sacrifice that he value and also he see it to be something that he owing and will pay back.​—Read Proverbs 19:17.

12. De ɣaa yɔwɔ̃itiɛ ta leve ɣɛ le te dɛ ga wõila ɣa te ya kuuwui ʋaa ma? (Wɛlɛ ɓalaa footei va.)

¹² If you brother, how you can show love for people and do things to help them? One young brother name Jordan ask one elder how he can do more to help the brother them in the congregation. The elder told him thank you for what he was already doing and then gave him some advice about how he can do more. For example, he told Jordan to try and come soon to the Kingdom Hall and speak to the brother them. He also told Jordan to comment in the meetings, always preach with his field service group, and think about other things he can do to help the brother and sister them. When Jordan do it, it help him to learn some thing them, but it also help him to love his brother and sister them more. Jordan learn that when you ministerial servant that not the time you can start helping people; but that the time you can continue helping them.​—1 Tim. 3:​8-10, 13.

13. Wõila ɓɔni de ɣaa yɔwɔ̃i Christian va ɣɛ le ga e ɣaa-ɓaa kɔnɔ e kulo bu ga e ɣɛ ga kuuwu wũ-tuo nu?

¹³ What if you use to be ministerial servant or elder before? Jehovah can still remember the way you show love by working hard for your brother and sister them before. (1 Cor. 15:58) He can still see the love that you showing now-now. One brother name Christian was feeling bad when they step him down from being elder. But he say, “I decided to do everything I able to do to serve Jehovah whether I elder or not.” After some time, they make him elder again. Christian say: “First I was not too sure whether I must accept it. But I decided that if Jehovah want me to be elder again because of his mercy, I will accept it. And that because I love him and my brother and sister them.”

14. De ɣaa yɔwɔ̃i nii kuloai Georgia, zɛɓɛi da maa woli nii zu e boni?

¹⁴ Jehovah people can also show their love for their neighbors. (Matt. 22:​37-39) For example, one sister name Elena from the country call Georgia say: “First, the only reason why I use to go preach that because I love Jehovah. But when my love for Jehovah was getting strong, my love for people was getting strong too. I try to think about the different-different thing them they were going through and the topic them that will touch their heart. The more I think about them like this, that the mean time I wanted to help them.” ​—Rom. 10:​13-15.

15-16. E ɣɛ velei dɛɛ la footei zu, kulo su-nu-ma zɛɓɛi da sɔlɔwo ani wõila ɣa ɣɛna de ya numaa ʋaa ma?

¹⁵ Any time we show love to our brother and sister them, that not their one can benefit. When the COVID-19 started, one brother name Paolo and his wife help plenty older sister them to learn how to use their phones, tablets or computers to know how to preach. First it was hard for one sister to use her phone or tablet to preach. But later on, she learn how to use it. She use it to invite her relative them to the Memorial. Sixty of them use video call to attend the program! What Paolo and his wife did benefit the sister and all her relative them. Later on, the sister write Paolo. She say: “Thank you for teaching us. I will never forget the way Jehovah really love us and how you work hard to help us.”

¹⁶ Paolo learn important lesson from experience them like this. He learn that our love for our brothers more important than what we know or any talent we get. He say: “I use to be circuit overseer. Now I know that the brothers can’t remember all the talks I gave. But they can still remember the thing them I use to do for them.”

17. Ɓɛɛni ka wɔnɔ te vaazu wulozu su-nu-ma ani da dɛɛna ga wõila ɣa de ya?

When the sun was hot on one Saturday afternoon, he saw one pioneer preaching by himself side the road. So, Jonathan decided to work with the pioneer every Saturday afternoon. At that time, he never knew how he was coming benefit from what he was doing to help the pioneer. Jonathan say, “I never use to enjoy field service. But when I listen to the way the pioneer was teaching and saw how he was helping people, it make me to start enjoying the field service. Also, me and the brother friendship got thick. And he help me to get strong faith, to enjoy field service and to get close to Jehovah.”
