Train Your Teenager to Serve Jehovah

TRAINING THAT REAPS INDESCRIBABLE JOY

As you raise your children, you may sometimes feel as did the apostle Paul, who became a spiritual father to many. He experienced  "tribulation and anguish of heart" because of "the depth of love"  he had for his spiritual children in Corinth.  (2 Corinthians 2:4; 1 Corinthians 4:15) Victor, who raised two sons and a daughter, says:  "The teenage years were not easy.  Yet, the good times outweighed the challenges we faced. With Jehovah's help, we enjoyed a close friendship with our children." 

Keep working tirelessly to train your children to serve Jehovah. As you show the depth of your love for them, may you experience the indescribable joy of seeing them come into the truth and remain in the ranks of spiritual children who "go on walking in the truth." -3 John 4.
