"JEHOVAH is finding pleasure in those fearing him," wrote the psalmist. Indeed, the Creator rejoices in observing each of his human servants as they strive to uphold his righteous standards. God blesses his loyal ones, encourages them, and comforts them in times of despair. He knows that his worshipers are imperfect, so he is realistic in what he expects of them. -Psalm 147:11.
We may have no difficulty believing that Jehovah has greater love for his servants in general. However, some seem to be so overly concerned about their own shortcomings that they are convinced that Jehovah could never love them. "I am too imperfect for Jehovah to love me," they may conclude. Of course, we all have negative feelings from time to time. but some seem to wage a constant battle against feelings of worthlessness.,
